Baseball Stats for Beginners – Part 1

Again, this is a pretty basic explanation of some of the stats. Some of the categories like on-base percentage have other factors in determining them, such as sacrifices (bunts or flies) and hit-by-pitches (HBP), but hopefully you have a general idea.

Next time around, I’ll focus on pitchers and/or fielding. Thanks for reading

Still got a question? A little unsure about what you just read? Want to ask a question about an entirely different baseball topic? Hit Steve up on Twitter or Facebook and tell him how awesome/terrible you think he is!
