Best Answer

If a runner reaches on a walk (or base on balls) and scores that will figure into a pitchers ERA, only runners reaching or scoring on errors, or scoring after the 3rd out should have been made (due to earlier errors in the inning) do not count in the ERA

What is the difference between appearances and at bats when reviewing baseball statistics?

Plate appearances is the total number of times a player has stood at the plate ... regardless of outcome. At-bats are counted when a batter either scores an 'out' or scores a 'hit'. If the batter receives a Base-on-balls, hit by pitch, or reaches base as the result of an error or Fielder's choice, it doesn't count as an at-bat. Batting average is figured as hits/at-bats. On-base percentage is figured as #of times on base / plate appearances This answer is wrong... If the batter reaches base as a result of an error or fielder's choice it still counts as an at bat, if the batter records an out that results in a sacrifice fly it does not count as an at bat. Also a base on balls includes the possibility of hit by pitch in its definition.

No. A base on balls does not count as an at bat so the batter's average is the same after the walk as it was before the walk.
