What does ab stand for in baseball?
At-bats. The number of batters he faced, not counting those he walked and (I think) those who reached on an error and (maybe) those who "sacrificed" a runner to the next base. I'm not 100% sure which batters are excluded, but I know walks are excluded. Excluded from ABs are walks, sacrifices, sacrifice flies, catcher's interference, and hit by pitch. Reaching base by an error is considered an AB.

How do you find your obp in baseball?
Add up your hits, walks, and hit by pitches and divide by the number you get when adding up your at bats, walks, hit by pitches, and sacrifice flies. As an example, we'll use Albert Pujols 2011 stats ... Hits - 173 Walks - 61 Hit by Pitches - 4 At Bats - 579 Sacrifice Flies - 7 The OBP would be calculated as ... (173 + 61 + 4) divided by (579 + 61 + 4 + 7) which equals ... 238 divided by 651 which equals .03655 which would round to .0366. Albert's OBP for the 2011 season was .0366.
How can OPB be lower than BA?
You might see a player's OBP (on base percentage) lower than their batting average for a game or two but there is virtually no chance that it would happen over an entire season as a player would have to have an incredibly higher number of sacrifice flies than total of (walks + hit by pitch). To review ... Batting average is calculated as (hits / at bats). OBP is calculated as (hits + walks + hit by pitch) / (at bats + walks + hit by pitch + sacrifice flies). Example 1: A player has played 2 games and has 8 at bats, 2 hits, 0 walks, 0 hit by pitch, and 1 sacrifice fly. Batting average is .250 (2 / 8). OBP is .222 (2 + 0 + 0) / (8 + 0 + 0 + 1). Example 2: A player has played an entire season and has 500 at bats, 150 hits, 50 walks, and 5 hit by pitch. Batting average is .300 (150 / 500). For the OBP to be lower than the batting average, the player would need 129 sacrifice flies ... (150 + 50 + 5) / (500 + 50 + 5 + 129) = .2997.
