The reason I found it absurd is that you could theoretically get thrown out at every AB but still have a avg of 1.000.

That's why there is a Batting Average vz the On Base Percentage. If you have 3 AB's and get thrown out 3 times, you bat 1.000 but the OBP = 0.

Hogwash. The OBP would be 1.000 also.
10.22 (f) On base percentage, divide the total of hits, all bases on balls, and hit by pitch by the total of at bats, all bases on balls, hit by pitch and sacrifice flies. NOTE: For the purpose of computing on base percentage, ignore being awarded first base on interference or obstruction.
