Help! What stats are at bats composed of?
Hi everyone, I'm trying to find out the formula for at bats (besides subtracting the difference between plate appearances and at bats).
Is this formula correct? AB=H+GO+SO+(AO-SF assuming AO includes SF; SFs are not ABs. Do sac flies count as fly outs?)+reached on error. Using this formula, 10/13 Braves with the most AB(excluding Teixeira) had calculated ABs slightly less than actual AB(the difference is presumably when they reached on errors), 2/13 had calculated AB=actual ABs, and 1/13 had 3 more calculated ABs than actual, for some reason. Ever since I discovered ABs were different from PAs, I've been trying to find out the formula and have based it on information mostly obtained from wikipedia and MLB.com stat abbreviations page: MLB.com's definitions: Ground out= The total of all ground balls hit by the batter into outs, not including bunts. (So i stopped subtracting SH from GO, as if GO had included SH which are not ABs) At Bat: A batter is charged with an at-bat when he makes an out (unless credited with a sacrifice bunt or sacrifice fly), or reaches base on a base hit, on a fielding error or on a fielder's choice. A batter is not charged with an at-bat if he is credited with a walk or hit by pitch, or reaches base on catcher's interference. If anyone could help with this formula I'd appreciate it very much.
