They are mirror images. But good pitching will beat good hitting, the opposite is not true.
I think one writer put the breakdown at 50% hitting. 43% pitching, 7% defense. I forget how he came up with that, but it feels about right. There is a ton of new data people are crunching now that MLB has the PitchFX system from Gameday. This includes ball movement, ball placement, velocity, and release point. I think that it won't be long before someone has an analysis on how often certain pitchers get the fat part of the plate.
