BB/K

Walk-to-strikeout ratio — a one-number read on plate discipline.

What BB/K means

Above 1.00 means more walks than strikeouts, which only a handful of hitters manage in a modern season. League average sits near 0.40.

How BB/K is calculated

BB/K = BB / K

What counts as a good BB/K

Higher is better — roughly .280 is poor, .380 average, .550 good, and .800 or better elite.
