hit by pitch
By: Coach TonyIt is scored like a walk and is included in the stats through the On Base %.
For instance, assume a player goes to the plate ten times and gets four hits, walks once, and gets hit by pitch once.
Batting average is .400, but four OB% you add the walks and HBP to both the numerator and denominator (hits and official at bats)
Therefore, OB% is 6/12 or 50%.
