PA and AB affects on batting averages

[dunc]

My first post. Be gentle. In keeping stats for our team, I had a parent, actually a satellite radio sports host, ask about the batting avg and if walks, recorded in iscore, are taken out of the equation for the actual batting average. I am guessing that iscore properly accounts for BB and Hit by Pitches as it pertains to the batting average. Right? I did notice differences between the PA and the AB and saw that they reconciled with BB and hit by pitches in game. I am just putting this out there for some confirmation. iScore Novice

most definately. iscore handles the stat math correctly. generally easy to say , they follow MLB as the rule standard for Avg, OBP, SLG , OPS etc. They have taken great care to be precise in their math, proven out in number of threads , and if/when a error was found corrected quickly. a testimate is some folks score major league games and reconcile with official stats after the fact.

The formulas for the statistics are all standard. Here is a link to a website that does a good job explaining stats in detail:
