What should historians do with 1887 batting stats? When doing some research on baseball records, I was blown away to find out that the three highest seasonal batting averages all came from the same year: 1887. That year Tip O'Neil hit .485, Pete Browning hit .457, and Bob Caruthers hit .456 all on American Association teams. Well that's quite impressive, isn't it? Then I went to research who had the most hits in a season. Well, we all know it's Ichiro's 262 hits in 2004, right? Wrong! Guess who does have the most hits in a season. Well its a tie between our old friends Tip O'Neil and Pete Browning; they each had 275 hits one season! And guess what year that happened? 1887, of course. How is it that these players accomplished such remarkable hitting stats that year? Well, the answer is simple. In the year 1887, and only 1887, MLB counted WALKS as HITS. Ridiculous, huh? Well, here's something else to consider: In 1887 it took FOUR STRIKES to strike out and FIVE BALLS to get a walk, which was a hit. Weird, eh? Apparently in the 1960's MLB management said the 1887 stats shouldn't count, but more recently said that they should, since that was the way things were done at the time. Some historians have adjusted the numbers and given Tip O'Neil a still very impressive .435 for 1887 instead of .485, but this means he has the 2nd best batting average instead of the best (Hugh Duffy hit .440 for the Boston Beaneaters in 1894, which is at least the National League's record). So what should historians do? Adjust the 1887 stats? Accept them as how things were done at the time? Erase them from the history books? Give them all asterisks? Or should we take it one step further and ignore all records from the 19th Century, before the "Modern Era" of baseball (including Hugh Duffy), since there were other strange, unfamiliar intricacies of the game from that time? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit_%28base… http://dmbworldseriesreplay.wordpress.co… http://www.baseball-almanac.com/hitting/… http://www.baseball-almanac.com/hitting/…

Is looking at a batsman's average Really the most effective way of analysing a batsman's significance? Many batsmen I've known may have low batting averages, but what made them so great is the fact that they performed best when their team needed them the most.

Can an argument be made that Ichiro Suzuki is the best player in MLB today? Ichito had a seven year career batting average in Japan of .353 and a total of 1,278 hits. This is his seventh year in MLB and he has an additional 1,539 hits here and will finish this season with around 2,900 in his baseball career to date. At his current pace he would smash the career hit record of Pete Rose and finish his career with around 4,500 hits. In his seven years in MLB he has never had less than 200 hits in a season, never hit less than .300, never scored less than 100, and has averaged more than 40 stolen bases per season. In addition to all of this he just might have the strongest and most accurate throwing arm in the game today, he is a great teammate, a total team player, great in the dugout, runs out every groundball at full speed, never argues with the umpires, and has never been tossed from a game in his entire career. Can anyone tell me why he should not be considered the best all-around player in the game today?

Batting Average Statistics Question? There is a graph with 5 bars. .320-.329 has a very low bar. .330-.339 also has a very low bar. The two bars in the middle are very, very high. and the last bar is very low. This distribution of data shows lots of lifetime averages in the middle classes, but tails off sharply at both the upper and lower ends. What best explains the fact that there are very few averages in the lowest class? A. Batting averages lie on a bell-shaped curve. B. Histograms always have taller bars in the middle. C. There may be other hitters in the 320s, but they didn't make the top 30. D. Very few batters are skillful enough to have the very highest batting averages. E. The histogram is symmetrical.
How come in every baseball era, even the best hitters of all time fail far more often than they succeed? The best lifetime batting average in the MLB of all time is only 366 by Ty Cobb. Thats only 36 percent of success! And no one in MLB history ever hit close to 500 in a season. Should there be a rule helping the offense more? The balance between pitchers is hitters is in strong favor for the pitchers. If that really was balanced, you would see hitters over 500. Why cant any hitters succeed more than failing? Is getting a basehit simply more luck than skill?

Since the post Jackie Robinson integration era in MLB as all the different races have been allowed to compete at the big league level what player has compiled the highest career & single season batting average?

Why is it so hard and rare for a MLB baseball player to have a batting average over 350? I asked this before and the only answer i got was pitching and major league pitching? What about major league batting? Why do the pitchers have so much of an edge over the batters in the MLB? How come in todays baseball there is such a small variation in batting averages which is basically 350 and under for a season at best. Thats only 35 percent which is wayyy less than half that a best players possible at any time could get a hit. Thats crazy and pathetic! How come there is no 400 or 500 or 750 or 850 or 950 batting averages anywhere? How can this be a good thing?

Is it possible to have an on base percentage lower than a batting average?

At the time he had a batting average slightly above .300, but an OBP slightly below .300. Is that possible? The only way I could see that happening is if say he got credit for a single but was thrown out trying for second, something like that. I guess what I'm really asking is whether it was just a typo.

Why do people value batting average over on base pct. or slugging? IMO, the two most important "rate" statistics for hitters are on base pct. and slugging pct. OBP measures a hitter's ability to extend an inning/create scoring opportunities by reaching base (and not wasting outs) while slugging measures the ability to advance a baserunner. Without either of these, you can't score. But it seems that batting average is still the "main" number in some people's minds. Why is that? But Prashant, the most important thing is to get on base, don't you think? Keep in mind that drawing walks is a skill and isn't just something that comes out of bad control by the pitcher. Look at it this way: Player A has a .330 batting average and a .350 on base pct. Player B has a .280 batting average and a .400 on base pct. Would you rather have a player that gets an out 65% of the time, or one that gets out only 60% of the time? And force outs don't add to a players on base pct. As far as the batter's statistics go, they're counted as outs.
Why do most broadcasts still show batting average instead of OBP? When you're watching a game and they show average, homers, and RBI, why don't they instead show on-base percentage, or at least add it beside the average (some do, but not all)? It's a much more telling statistic, especially in combination with batting average. For example, if you were looking only at batting average, you'd think Jeff Francoeur and Adam Dunn were about equally successful (.256 to .255). Showing OBP, however, would show that Dunn is at a healthy .385 to Francoeur's horrible .282. I'm not asking for runs created, VORP, or any sabermetric stats - just common sense things like OBP or OPS. Is there just too much tradition with those three categories?

How is a batter's batting average calculated? Does anyone know the formula that is used to calculate a batter's batting average?? Thanks (RED SOX ARE NUMBER 1!!) FYI "Patrick", STD's have nothing to do with baseball. And I asked about BATTING averages, last time I checked BATTING averages were not covered in high school math. "Patrick": so no one contracts HIV from heterosexual contact, why don't you ask you "doctor" friend about these stats...and it takes one to know one.. "Around 47% of all people diagnosed with AIDS were probably infected with HIV through male-to-male sexual contact, while people exposed through heterosexual contact comprise around 17% of the total. Since the beginning of the epidemic, the number of heterosexual infections has increased dramatically. According to CDC estimates, heterosexual contact led to about one third of new AIDS diagnoses and one third of new HIV diagnoses in 2005."
