Just to be clear, I didn't mean to say that OOTP incorrectly calculates OBP and BABIP in the stats that are output as the games are played out. These are accurate.

However, on the Stats & AI screen that generates the modifiers for a particular season, OOTP does not include sacrifice flies in these calculations. If you look at the slash lines for a particular season, the batting average and slugging percentage will be correct, but the OBP will not match the historical value because it doesn't include sacrifice flies. Likewise with the BABIP.
