These can include his achievements in the current game, such as runs (R), runs batted in (RBI), or hits (H). Often, the scoreboard will also display his seasonal stats, such as batting average (BA), on-base percentage (OBP), or slugging (SLG). Likewise, the scoreboard also can show the pitcher’s stats.

Pitching Abbreviations- BB - Walks (Bases on Balls)
Definition. A hit occurs when a batter strikes the baseball into fair territory and reaches base without doing so via an error or a fielder’s choice. There are four types of hits in baseball: singles, doubles, triples and home runs.
Pitcher. A baseball position that is the player that pitches the ball to the catcher from the mound; often seen on baseball rosters, score cards, and fantasy baseball leagues; can also appear as SP and RP which represent the type of pitcher.
Based on statistics and the position’s active involvement in the game, it’s believed that right field is the easiest baseball position to play. This is the case because of the number of balls hit to right field compared to other positions on the field.
Right Field
This is often considered to be, alongside the left field, the least important position in baseball.

What is the easiest position in baseball? Right field, and the reason is that because 80% of hitters are right-handed, fewer fly balls will go to right field. Most hitters like to pull the ball and pull the ball when they are fooled by offspeed pitches.
In baseball, a utility player is a player who typically does not have the offensive abilities to justify a regular starting role on the team but is capable of playing more than one defensive position.
One such rarity is the immaculate inning. You’ve probably heard of it – an immaculate inning is when a pitcher strikes out all three batters in an inning, on three pitches each. The immaculate inning used to be very rare – there were none from 1929-52. But in 2019, there have been seven.
In short, a walk is not an At-Bat (AB) because At-Bats are used to calculate a player’s batting average. Including walks as an At-Bat would considerably change a player’s batting average, so walks are removed as an official At-Bat.
Definition. Slugging percentage represents the total number of bases a player records per at-bat. Unlike on-base percentage, slugging percentage deals only with hits and does not include walks and hit-by-pitches in its equation. Slugging percentage differs from batting average in that all hits are not valued equally.

An error does not count as a hit but still counts as an at bat for the batter unless, in the scorer’s judgment, the batter would have reached first base safely but one or more of the additional bases reached was the result of the fielder’s mistake.
At-bat (AB)
Players who bat higher in the order will typically finish the season with more at-bats than players who hit toward the bottom. Similarly, players who walk infrequently also typically record a higher-than-usual number of at-bats in a season, because walks do not count as at-bats.
H/9 - Hits per nine innings - hits allowed times nine divided by innings pitched (also known as H/9IP - Hits allowed per 9 innings pitched) H - Hits Allowed - total hits allowed.
For example, if a runner takes an extra base on a wild pitch or a passed ball, he is not awarded a stolen base. However, if he was attempting to steal as a wild pitch/passed ball was thrown, he is generally given credit for it.
Babe Ruth is the all-time leader with a career slugging percentage of .6897.
