In 1952, Phil Rizzuto played for the New York Yankees. On Base Percentage (OBP) is considered by many to be a better measure of a great hitter than the Batting Average. It is calculated with the formula (Hits + Walks + Hit by Pitch) / (At Bats + Walks + Hit by Pitch + Sacrifice Flies). In 1952, Phil Rizzuto had 578 at bats, 147 hits, 67 walks, and was hit by the pitch 5 times. Sacrifice flies weren't counted before 1954. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .337. Slugging Percentage (SLG) is a popular measure of a batter's power. It is calculated as (Total Bases) / (At Bats). Another way to look at it is (Singles + 2 x Doubles + 3 x Triples + 4 x Home Runs) / (At Bats). In 1952, Phil Rizzuto had 578 at bats, and hit 111 singles, 24 doubles, 10 triples, and 2 home runs, for a .341 slugging percentage. Being able to get on base and to hit for power are two of the most important offensive skills in baseball, so the On Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage are often added together. On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic. The best hitters in Major League Baseball can achieve an OPS of .900 or higher. In 1952, Phil Rizzuto had a .337 On Base Percentage and a .341 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .678. Runs Created (RC) is a baseball statistic invented by Bill James to estimate the number of runs a hitter contributes to his team. There are a number of formulas used to calculate it. One of the simplest is (On Base Percentage) × (Total Bases). In 1952, Phil Rizzuto had a .337 On Base Percentage and 197 Total Bases for 66.37 Runs Created.
In 1952, Phil Rizzuto played in 152 games, all for the New York Yankees, and batting in all of them. He had 578 at bats, getting 147 hits, for a .254 batting average, with 23 sacrifice hits, 0 sacrifice flies, and 43 runs batted in. He was walked 67 times, and was hit by the pitch 5 times. He struck out 42 times. He hit 24 doubles, 10 triples, and 2 home runs.
