OBP question... (1 Viewer)

If you ground into a fielders choice and you are safe at first, but the runner is out at second. Does your On Base Percentage go up for that?

No.

Just hits, walks and HBP (I am pretty sure).

Fielder's choice does not count towards OBP. That is why you will see someone score a run (Dan Uggla) and have a .000 for a given game.

Think reach on error, too.

Nope, reaching on errors do not count positively towards the OBP in MLB. ROE in 1 AB is like going 0 for 1. Sacrifice Flies count against the OBP as well, but not the batting average.http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/baseb...s/stats_101.jsp
