Question

If a batter's first plate appearance of the season results in a walk, his on-base pct. (OBP) is 1.000. If his very next appearance results in a sac fly, what is his OBP?

Answer 1

.500 and his ave is .000 he's 0/1

Answer 2

yeah 500....cause of the 1st guy said so

Answer 3

he/she would now be 0 - 1

.000 BA

.500 OBP

My question is:  does someone have to score to make it considered a Sac Fly?  Is moving someone over to third on a long fly a sacrifice?

Answer 4

Cubswinin08 is the only one who got the average right. It's not .000. If you're 0-0, you have no average. You can't divide something by 0 and get a percentage, or anything else for that matter.

Several others got the OBP right.

And yes, A run has to score for it to a sacrifice fly. Showstopper, you're wrong on the sacrifice fly. A run MUST score for it to be a sacrifice fly.

Answer 5

On-base percentage is calculated using this formula:

OBP = (AB+ BB+ HBP) / (AB+BB+HBP+SF)

where

H = Hits

BB = Bases on Balls (Walks)

HBP = times Hit By a Pitch

AB = At bats

SF = Sacrifice Flies

therefore is OB% is 1.00

Answer 6
