Compare stats

One way to compare baseball players is to look at their stats. Statistics are a way of objectively comparing players (or teams) against each other. In baseball, there are two main types of statistics:
-Batting statistics, which measure a player’s performance at bat
-Pitching statistics, which measure a player’s performance on the mound

Players are usually compared against others who play the same position. For example, you wouldn’t compare a pitcher’s stats to a catcher’s stats. Instead, you would compare pitchers to other pitchers, and catchers to other catchers.

There are many different batting and pitching statistics, but here are some of the most important ones:

Batting Statistics
– batting average: the number of hits divided by the number of at bats. The batting average is a good way to measure a hitter’s consistency. The higher the batting average, the more likely it is that a hitter will get a hit when he comes to bat.
– slugging percentage: the total number of bases divided by the number of at bats. The slugging percentage is a good way to measure a hitter’s power. The higher the slugging percentage, the more likely it is that a hitter will hit for extra bases (such as a double or home run).

Pitching Statistics
– earned run average (ERA): the number of earned runs divided by the number of innings pitched. The ERA is a good way to measure how effective a pitcher is at keeping runs from scoring. The lower the ERA, the better.
– strikeouts per nine innings pitched: The number of strikeouts divided by the number of innings pitched and multiplied by 9. This stat is a good way to measure how effective a pitcher is at striking batters out.
