I am relatively new at trying to keep stats for my softball team. The situation I have is this: With a guy on first, the batter hits an infield grounder. Infield chooses to throw to 2nd base to get the force. This, I believe, would be considered a fielder's choice, so the batter does not get the base hit, but he still gets on base. So, let's say for the game he goes 2-3 with two base hits and the fielder's choice hit. How does the fielder's choice at-bat count toward his OBP? According the the formulas I have seen to calculate the OBP, his OBP and AVG would be the same (.667), yet he was 'on base' all three times, which should make his OBP higher than his AVG. Can anyone explain this to me?
Thanks!!
