How do you calculate OBP?

OBP = On Base Percentage 1) Take a batter's number of plate appearances and subtract the number of sacrifices (bunts) the batter has. 2) Add the batter's number of base hits, walks, and hit by pitch. 3) Divide the value in 2) by the value in 1) EXAMPLE: The batter has 600 plate appearance and 2 sacrifices. The batter has 160 base hits, 70 walks, and 4 hit by pitch. A) Subtract the number of sacrifices from the number of plate appearances (600 - 2 = 598). B) Add base hits, walks, and hit by pitch (160 + 70 + 4 = 234). C) Divide 234 by 598 (234 / 598 = .391) The batter's OBP is .391.


When can a batter be hit by pitch and not be awarded 1st base?

What does the baseball statistic OBP mean?

It is a combination of 3 different stats. They are OBP/SLG/OPS, which mean On Base Percentage (OBP) Slugging Percentage (SLG) OBP Plus SLG (OPS) Here is the formula for each one. On Base Percentage (OBP) is used to determine how often a batter reaches base safely divided by his number of plate appearances. [Hits (H) + Walks (BB) + Hit By Pitch (HBP)] / [At Bats (AB) + Walks (BB) + Hit By Pitch (HBP) + Sacrifice Flies (SF)] Slugging Percentage (SLG) is used to determine how much power a batter has Total Bases (TB) / At Bats (AB) On Base Percentage Plus Slugging Percentage (OPS) is exactly that: OBP + SLG This statistic is used to determine how well-rounded a batter is.
