Do any of those defensive/luck independent metrics account for extreme FB/GB types of pitchers?

That is the main weakness of most of those metrics, I'm sure. They are still more reliable than stuff like ERA and WHIP though.

I suspect there is probably a metric or two that incorporate ground ball rates (as well as line drives and fly balls), but I'm not sure.
