In 1997, Cecil Fielder 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 1997, Cecil Fielder had 361 at bats, 94 hits, 51 walks, and was hit by the pitch 7 times. He had 6 sacrifice flies. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .358.

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 1997, Cecil Fielder had 361 at bats, and hit 66 singles, 15 doubles, 0 triples, and 13 home runs, for a .410 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 1997, Cecil Fielder had a .358 On Base Percentage and a .410 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .768.

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 1997, Cecil Fielder had a .358 On Base Percentage and 148 Total Bases for 52.93 Runs Created.

Does fielders choice help the batters batting average?

A fielder's choice is just like an out and lower's a player's batting average since the fielder chose to put out another player instead, usually the lead runner... On the other hand, a sacrifice does not count against the batter because his intention was to advance the runner at his own expense.
