OBP vs BA

markprior22 · 04-21-2004, 10:48 AM

Having some brain lock this morning so bear with me. Is it possible to have a higher BA than OBP? I can't think how that can be but I saw one of my players with a .329 BA and a .320 OBP. He has 0 walks in 73 AB's.

I believe sacrifices might be a part of OBP and not BA.

Yup, if he has a few sacrifices, that's why his OBP is lower.

hmmm... I'm gonna take a guess that your player has...

24 hits
0 HBP
0 BB (like you said)
2 Sacrifice Flys

That would give you a .329 BA and a .320 OBP in 73 AB (with 75 PA).
