How To Read Baseball Statistics? In this informative video, we’ll guide you through the world of baseball statistics, making it easier for you to understand the numbers that define player performance. We’ll start by breaking down key metrics like Batting Average (AVG) and how it reflects a hitter's success at the plate. You'll learn about At-Bats and Plate Appearances, and why these distinctions matter when assessing a player's contributions.

Moving on to pitchers, we’ll explain Earned Run Average (ERA) and what it reveals about a pitcher’s effectiveness. You’ll also discover the importance of Walks and Hits Per Innings Pitched (WHIP) in evaluating a pitcher's ability to control the game. For hitters, we’ll cover On-Base Percentage (OBP) and Slugging Percentage (SLG), providing you with a comprehensive overview of how these stats contribute to a player's overall performance.

Finally, we’ll introduce On-Base Plus Slugging (OPS), a metric that combines key elements of hitting to give you a clearer picture of a player's contributions.
