Stupid question of the day

battists · 09-09-2015, 01:43 PM

So, I often see people referring to a hitter's key stats using three averages separated by slashes: Bob hit .298 / .366 / .375.

Stupid question of the day: what are these three stats?

Is it AVG / OBP / SLG?
AVG / SLG / OPS?
Something else?

Thanks!

Avg/obp/slg

I always love it when someone else has the guts to ask something, so I don't have to

Conversely, I now feel super-knowledgeable for knowing the answer to a question a guy with 17k posts asked.

While we're on stupid questions though, and to deflate my ego a bit, how can SLG go over 4.0?

If you homer in every AB, that's an SLG of 4, right? You can't get more than 4 bases on one hit. So how can, for example, Bryce Harper have an SLG of 6.40. An average of 6.40 bases per at bat...?

He's at .640, not 6.40. So he's averaging almost 2/3 of a base per AB.

Ahem. Yeaah. Realling putting the stupid in 'stupid question' with that one.
