Explanation of Statistics

(aka - Why are the OBP and OPS wrong?)

Pitching Statistics

ERA – Earned Run Average - (ER/IP)*9 - [bolded if under 3.00]

W – Wins [bolded if winning percentage is over 66% and player has started in 50% of appearances]

L – Losses

G – Games – Number of pitching appearances

GS – Games Started

Sv – Saves [bolded if player has earned a save in at least 40% of appearances]

IP – Innings Pitched

H – Hits allowed

R – Runs allowed

ER – Earned Runs allowed

BB – Walks allowed (Bases on Balls)

K – Strikeouts

WPCT – Winning Percentage – (W + L)/W - [bolded if over 66% and player has started in 50% of appearances]

WHIP – Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched – (H + BB)/IP - [bolded if under 1.2]

IP/G – Innings Pitched per Game [bolded if 6 innings or more]

K/BB – Strikeouts to Walks ratio – K/BB - [bolded if greater than 3]

BB/9 – Walks per 9 Innings – (BB/IP)*9

K/9 – Strikeouts per 9 Innings – (K/IP)*9 – [bolded if greater than 9]

H/9 – Hits allowed per 9 Innings – (H/IP)*9

 

Batting Statistics

Ave – Batting Average – H/AB – [bolded if over .300]

G – Games

AB – At Bats

H – Hits

R – Runs Scored [bolded if player averages a run in every 5 or less at bats]

2B – Doubles

3B – Triples

HR – Home Runs [bolded if player homers every 20 or fewer at bats]

RBI – Runs Batted In [bolded if player averages an RBI in every 5 or less at bats]

SB – Stolen Bases [bolded if player steals a base in once every 10 or fewer games]

OBP* – On Base Percentage (approximate) – (H + BB)/(AB + BB) actual On Base Percentage is calculated using the formula (H + BB + HBP)/(AB + BB + HBP + SF) – [bolded if over .380]

SLG – Slugging Percentage – (H + 2B + 2*3B + 3*HR)/AB

OPS* - On Base plus Slugging (approximate) – OBP* + SLG – [bolded if over .850]

XB% – Extra Base Hit Percentage – Percentage of total hits that are extra base hits – (2B + 3B + HR)/H – [bolded if over 40%]

K% – Strikeout Percentage – Percentage of official at bats that end in a strikeout – K/AB – [bolded if less than 10%]

AB/HR – At Bats per Home Run – Frequency of home runs, in terms of at bats – AB/HR – [bolded if 20 or less]

G/SB – Games per Stolen Bases – Frequency of stolen bases, in terms of games – G/SB – [bolded if 10 or less]
