Obp?

From a player's card:

AB=16
H=5
2B=1
3B=0
HR=0
RBI=0
BB=0
K=1

AVG=.313
OBP=.278??? (Hits+Walks+HBP+CI)/AB
SLG=.375

The RHP split has OBP correct. The LHP split is the problem.

Shouldn't the OBP=.313?

Can OBP ever be lower than the AVG?

Yes, it's possible. The formula for OBP is (H+BB+HBP)/(AB+BB+HBP+SF)

So, I'm guessing the number of sacrifice flies can certainly affect the comparison, especially in cases with few AB.

There are no RsBI though.
