The raw data should be available in the same way Pitch F/X data is, so it should be possible to categorize hits correctly regardless of how they're "officially" coded.

The idea was that some press boxes are close to field level, and some are really high, and the coder's perspective could change their observation. That article had more information on the people who do the coding, but IIRC there are one or two people responsible for batted ball descriptions at each game. I wonder if the hit f/x data can eventually be used to help characterize line drives vs. fly balls. The speed and angle off the bat are the primary factors determining a ball's trajectory, and those could sorted into bins corresponding to line drive, fly ball, etc. and possibly additional modifiers, such as "weak line drive" or "high fly ball".
