Yes. OBP: Add up all plate appearances. This is every time you come to bat. Subtract sacrifice bunts. The number you get is your total at bats. Add up all the times you reached base safely, which should include hits, walks and the number of times you reached base by a hit by pitch. This total does not include the times you reached base because of an error or a fielder's choice. Divide the times you reached base safely by your total at bats. Round to the third decimal place.
