    My son is a freshman in high school, he has had 78 at bats with only two strikeouts. Does that count for anything?

    That's a very good strikeout percentage, so he's doing well. However, regarding batting or slugging percentage, strikeouts are considered the same as any other kind of out.

  • Question
    Why not just divide how many times a hitter gets on on base by at-bats?

    That will work if you know the player's total plate appearances, and not just his "official" at-bats.

    How do I figure out on base percentages?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    Use this formula: the sum of the player's hits, plus the number of times he walked, plus the number of times he was hit by a pitch, divided by the sum of the player's official at-bats, plus his walks, plus the number of times he was hit by a pitch, plus his sacrifices (bunts and flies).

    If a player reaches base on a fielder's choice, is that considered an on-base at-bat?

    No, a fielder's choice is regarded the same as an out in every stat.
