According to the information given in this article, either the formula is incorrect or the description is incorrect.
If the description is correct (which I suspect is true), then the formula should be TB = H + (2*2B) + (3*3B) + (4*HR).
Otherwise, if the formula is correct, the weighting would be:
1 for first base, 1 for second base, 2 for third base and 3 for fourth base.
Will someone with some time please correct this mistake.
What is a 'safe hit'? Please define or link it up.
The definition here clearly states that Total Bases only includes bases reached from safe hits. The distinction should be made though that this stat does not include any of the other ways in which a batter can reach base safely, since the name is a bit of a misnomer. Some people might assume (as I did) that Total Bases indicates the number of bases a player has safely reached.
Is there even a recognized stat for this? It seems like there should be, but I don't know what it is. "Times on Base" at least includes some of the other ways a player can reach base, but it's a misnomer too because it also doesn't include every way a batter can reach base. It also does not count extra bases. I guess I'm asking whether there is a stat for: (Total Bases) + (Base on Balls) + (Hit by Pitch) + (Reached by error) + (Fielder's choice) + (stolen bases). Am I missing anything? Thanks
Doesn't OBP(On Base Percetage) cover this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.128.27.101 ( talk) 13:19, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
