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?

Even with that "deficiency," I'd still like to have him playing for my teams instead of the Mariners.
