Baseball Stats for Beginners – Part 1

Again, this is a pretty basic explanation of some of the stats. Some of the categories like on-base percentage have other factors in determining them, such as sacrifices (bunts or flies) and hit-by-pitches (HBP), but hopefully you have a general idea.

Next time around, I’ll focus on pitchers and/or fielding. Thanks for reading

Still got a question? A little unsure about what you just read? Want to ask a question about an entirely different baseball topic? Hit Steve up on Twitter or Facebook and tell him how awesome/terrible you think he is!

Born in South Korea, Steve came to the US when he was three months old and has lived in St. Louis for the majority of his life. Of course, he naturally took a liking to the Cardinals, Blues, and thin-crust pizza. On the weekends, he can be found spending time with his friends, watching sports, or playing with his niece. Baseball, scotch, beer, guitar, softball, and drawing are among his many varied interests. Steve also has giant calves. E-mail: SteveK [at] ReviewSTL.com.
