CS — Caught Stealing: The total number of times a player has been thrown out while attempting to steal bases as a baserunner. AVG — Batting Average: Describes the percentage of time a batter has successfully made a hit while at bat during the current season. OBP — On-Base Percentage: Describes the percentage of time a batter advances to base as a result of hit, walk, or hit-by-pitch. Valuable for evaluating not only how often a player is likely to get a hit, but also the quality and relative value of those hits.
Players with higher SLG are more likely to hit doubles, triples, and home runs. IBB — Intentional Base on Balls: Also known as intentional walks, the total number of times a batter is intentionally given first base after four balls deliberately thrown by the pitcher.
High IBB is a strong indirect indicator of slugging ability. HBP — Hit by Pitch: The number of times a player has been hit by a pitch while at bat during the current season. Only successful sacrifices are counted, so a baserunner must advance in order for the sacrifice to be tallied. SF — Sacrifice Flies: The number of times during the season a player has hit a fly-ball to the outfield or foul territory that allows a baserunner to score but results in an out for the player at bat.
TB — Total Bases: The total number of bases a player has taken with their batting; tallies one for singles, two for doubles, three for triples. Long hitters tend to have higher XBH values. Double plays most often occur as a result of balls pitched low in the strike zone, which typically result in ground balls that do not leave the infield.
GO — Ground Outs: The number of times a player has hit the ball and grounded out during the current season. AO — Fly Outs: The number of times a player has hit a fly ball that was caught for an out. This number does not include line drives. This ratio is not particularly useful as a handicapping tool. NP — Number of Pitches: When referring to a position player, NP indicates the total number of pitches thrown during their at-bats.
PA — Plate Appearances: The number of completed turns at the plate a player has taken throughout the season. Unlike at-bats, which do not include plate appearances with certain results, PA tallies every single plate appearance regardless of outcome. APP — Appearance: The number of games in which a pitcher enters the game. Pitchers are credited with an appearance regardless of when they enter the game or how many batters they face throughout.
A balk occurs when the umpire calls the pitcher for an illegal and deceitful motion on the mound. All baserunners advance one base when a balk is called.
BF — Batters Faced: The total number of plate appearances the pitcher has faced during the season. BS — Blown Save: This statistic is specific to relief pitchers and tallies the number of games in which they enter in a save situation to ultimately allow a tying run to score. BS is very valuable in judging the ability of a closer to perform in a high-pressure situation. CG — Complete Game : The number of start-to-finish games pitched. Complete games are exceedingly rare in modern baseball and indicate an exceptional game by a talented pitcher with incredible stamina.
ER — Earned Run : The number of runs scored against a pitcher that do not benefit from either a fielding error or passed ball. When comparing pitchers across leagues, note that ERA values in the NL tend to be significantly lower thanks to lack of designated hitters in the batting lineup.
AO — Flyout: The total number of outs that occur as a result of a batter hitting a caught fly ball. Do any one of these pitching stats provide a complete picture? But they all have proven to be better measures of long-term success. In the short term, in one game with everything on the line, there are many other factors. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

A pitcher that manages to lead the league in these statistics is also referred to as a "Triple Crown" winner.
Some sabermetric statistics have entered the mainstream baseball world. Among statistics that measure a batter's overall performance, On-base plus slugging OPS is one of the easiest to calculate. It adds the hitter's on base percentage number of times reached base—by any means—divided by total plate appearances to his or her slugging percentage total bases divided by at bats. OPS is also useful when determining a pitcher's level of success.
However, since , more emphasis has been placed on Defense-Independent Pitching Statistics. These statistics, such as Defense-Independent ERA dERA , attempt to evaluate a pitcher according to those events governed solely by the pitcher's performance, regardless of the strength of the defensive players behind him or her. Also important are all of the above statistics in certain in-game situations.
For example, a certain hitter's ability to hit left-handed pitchers might incline a manager to give him or her more chances to face lefties.
Other hitters may have a history of success against a given pitcher or vice versa , and the manager may use this information to engineer a favorable matchup.
