sox4lifeinPA Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 a batter's only official at-bat is registered as a base on balls, what is his OBP? SLG? (the answer: I don't know....that's why I'm asking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 OBP = 1.000 SLG = Undefinable You need to have atleast 1 AB in order to calculate slugging percentage. The formula is simply TB/AB. The walk would count as a TB but no AB would be recorded since a BB only counts as a plate appearance and not an at bat. Plug the TB into the formula and you get 1/0 and any number divided by zero is undefinable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also don't count as an official at-bat making the original question a trick question. Gaedel has 0 career at-bats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
