AB At Bats = PA - BB - SF1B Singles = H - 2B - 3B - HR
TB Total Bases = H + 2B + (2 x 3B) + (3 x HR) + BB
SLG Slugging Percentage = TB / AB
OBP On-Base Percentage = (H + BB + FC) / (AB + BB + SF)
OPS On-base Plus Slugging = OBP + SLG BA Batting Average = H / AB
RC Runs Created = ((H + BB) x TB) / (AB + BB)
TA Total Average = (TB +BB) / (AB - H + DP)
PP Pure Power = SLG - BA
RISP Runners in Scoring Pos. = (H + BB + SF)/AB
FC Fielders Choice. A runner is forced out on the bases.
3rd Number of times making 3rd out in inning.
GWI Game Winning RBI. The run that puts us ahead for good.

DJ’s rationales for:
All stats: I don’t want to be the one to deal with arguments, so for everything I err toward inflating the stats. If someone want to become the ‘official scorer’ and deal with it, I’m all for it.
Hits: If there’s no out on the play, then it’s a hit. We could use “reached-on-error” instead of “hit”. It’s sure a lot simpler this way.
OBP: I include FC in OBP for a few reasons. 1) inflates the number, 2) encourages ground balls instead of fly balls. I think we’d all like to see more ground outs than fly outs. 3) I really think it belongs here (even in MLB). When computing a players value relative to runs scored, it makes sense to get credit for being on base, even if another player is forced. This is a VERY arguable point.
TB: Per some complaints, BB is now included in TB (thus the TB+ you see sometimes). Since this is a somewhat manual process, all the stats related to TB may not be quite correct. Tough. FC is not included, although there could certainly an argument for it.
RISP: “good things” count as a ‘RISP hit’, bad things don’t. So Hits, Walks and Sac Flies count as “good”. Outs and Fielders Choice count as “bad”. I know this is opposite my logic for OBP, but I’m one confused boy.
