OBP

On-base percentage — how often a hitter reaches base, including walks and HBP.

What OBP means

On-base percentage rewards walks and hit-by-pitches in addition to hits, giving a fuller picture of a hitter's ability to avoid making outs.

How OBP is calculated

OBP = (H + BB + HBP) / (AB + BB + HBP + SF)

What counts as a good OBP

Higher is better — roughly .290 is poor, .320 average, .350 good, and .380 or better elite.
