        Complete List (Offense)

        by Neil Weinberg
        October 30, 2014

        Here in the FanGraphs Library, we have many pages devoted to extremely detailed breakdowns of some of our most prominent statistics. You can find hundreds of words about Weighted On-Base Average (wOBA) or Batting Average on Balls in Play (BABIP) for instance, but sometimes you aren’t looking for hundreds of words. Sometimes you just want some very basic information.

        With that in mind, we present this post which will serve as a complete directory for every single offensive statistic available at FanGraphs. This post is organized in accordance with our leaderboards, so if you see something in the “Advanced” tab of the leaderboard that you don’t recognize, come to this page and find the matching acronym in the “Advanced” section. You can also use “CTRL + F” in most browsers and type in the stat you’re looking to identify.

        There are a few stray statistics located around the site that don’t show up on the leaderboards, so please let us know if you find something that needs to be added. In any of the cases in which we have a full post about the stat, you’ll find links to that page.

        *****

        Dashboard

        G (Games Played): Number of games in which the player has appeared.

        PA (Plate Appearances): Number of times the player has come to the plate.

        HR (Home Runs): Number of home runs.

        R (Runs Scored): Number of runs scored.

        RBI (Runs Batted In): Number of times a run scores as a result of a batter’s plate appearance, not counting situations in which an error caused the run to score or the batter hit into a double play.

        SB (Stolen Bases): Number of stolen bases.

        BB% (Walk Percentage): Frequency with which the batter has walked, calculated as walks divided by plate appearances.

        K% (Strikeout Percentage): Frequency with which the batter has struck out, calculated as strikeouts divided by plate appearances.

        ISO (Isolated Power): Average number of extra bases per at bat, calculated several ways such as SLG minus AVG.

        BABIP (Batting Average on Balls in Play): The rate at which the batter gets a hit when he puts the ball in play, calculated as (H-HR)/(AB-K-HR+SF).

        AVG (Batting Average): Rate of hits per at bat, calculated as H/AB.

        OBP (On Base Percentage): Rate at which the batter reaches base, calculated as (H+BB+HBP)/(AB+BB+HBP+SF).

        SLG (Slugging Percentage): Average number of total bases per at bat, calculated as Total Bases/AB.

        wOBA (Weighted On Base Average): Combines all the different aspects of hitting into one metric, weighting each of them in proportion to their actual run value. While batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage fall short in accuracy and scope, wOBA measures and captures offensive value more accurately and comprehensively.

        wRC+ (Weighted Runs Created Plus): The most comprehensive rate statistic used to measure hitting performance because it takes into account the varying weights of each offensive action (like wOBA) and then adjusts them for the park and league context in which they took place.

        BsR (Base Running Runs Above Average): Number of runs above or below average a player has been worth on the bases, based on stolen bases, caught stealing, extra bases taken, outs on the bases, and avoiding double plays. It is the combination of wSB, UBR, and wGDP.

        Off (Offensive Runs Above Average): Number of runs above or below average a player has been worth offensively, combining Batting Runs and BsR.

        Def (Defensive Runs Above Average): Number of runs above or below average a player has been worth on defense, combining Fielding Runs (Total Zone before 2002, UZR after) and the positional adjustment.

        WAR (Wins Above Replacement): A comprehensive statistic that estimates the number of wins a player has been worth to his team compared to a freely available player such as a minor league free agent. You can learn exactly how we calculated it here.

        Standard:

        G (Games Played): Number of games in which the player has appeared.

        AB (At Bats): Number of trips to the plate in which the batter does not walk, get hit by a pitch, sacrifice (fly or bunt), or reach on interference.

        PA (Plate Appearances): Number of times the player has come to the plate.

        H (Hits): Number of hits.

        1B (Singles): Number of singles.

        2B (Doubles): Number of doubles.

        3B (Triples): Number of triples.

        HR (Home Runs): Number of home runs.

        R (Runs Scored): Number of runs scored.

        RBI (Runs Batted In): Number of times a run scores as a result of a batter’s plate appearance, not counting situations in which an error caused the run to score or the batter hit into a double play.

        BB (Walks): Total number of walks (includes IBB).

        IBB (Intentional Walks): Number of times the batter was intentionally walked.

        SO (Strikeouts): Number of strikeouts.

        HBP (Hit By Pitches): Number of times the batter reached after being hit by a pitch.

        SF (Sacrifice Flies): Number of times a batter’s fly out allowed a runner to tag up and score.

        SH (Sacrifice Bunts): Any bunt in which there was a runner on base and less than two outs in which the batter was put out and at least one runner advanced.

        GDP (Grounded into Double Play): Number of times the batter hit into a double play.

        SB (Stolen Bases): Number of stolen bases.

        CS (Caught Stealing): Number of times caught stealing.

        AVG (Batting Average): Rate of hits per at bat, calculated as H/AB.

        Advanced:

        PA (Plate Appearances): Number of times the player has come to the plate.

        BB% (Walk Percentage): Frequency with which the batter has walked, calculated as walks divided by plate appearances.

        K% (Strikeout Percentage): Frequency with which the batter has struck out, calculated as strikeouts divided by plate appearances.

        BB/K (Walk to Strikeout Rate): Ratio of walks to strikeouts, calculated as Walks/Strikeouts.

        AVG (Batting Average): Rate of hits per at bat, calculated as H/AB.

        OBP (On Base Percentage): Rate at which the batter reaches base, calculated as (H+BB+HBP)/(AB+BB+HBP+SF).

        SLG (Slugging Percentage): Average number of total bases per at bat, calculated as Total Bases/AB.

        OPS (On Base Plus Slugging): Combination of OBP and SLG, calculated as OBP+SLG.

        ISO (Isolated Power): Average number of extra bases per at bat, calculated several ways such as SLG minus AVG.

        Spd (Speed Score): A slightly outdated statistic that attempts to measure a player’s running ability.

        BABIP (Batting Average on Balls in Play): The rate at which the batter gets a hit when he puts the ball in play, calculated as (H-HR)/(AB-K-HR+SF).

        UBR (Ultimate Base Running): The number of runs above or below average added by a player on all non-SB/CS base running players.

        wGDP (Weighted Grounded Into Double Play Runs): The number of runs above or below average added by a player by staying out of double plays.

        wSB (Weighted Stolen Base Runs Above Average): Number of runs above or below average added by a player on stolen base attempts.

        wRC (Weighted Runs Created): Number of runs a player has generated for his team as a result of his wOBA and playing time.

        wRAA (Weighted Runs Above Average): Number of runs above or below average a player has added as a hitter.

        wOBA (Weighted On Base Average): Combines all the different aspects of hitting into one metric, weighting each of them in proportion to their actual run value. While batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage fall short in accuracy and scope, wOBA measures and captures offensive value more accurately and comprehensively.

        wRC+ (Weighted Runs Created Plus): The most comprehensive rate statistic used to measure hitting performance because it takes into account the varying weights of each offensive action (like wOBA) and then adjusts them for the park and league context in which they took place.
