Error recording in stats

[AaronStanford]

Are errors factored in when iScore calculated a OBP and OPS? I think the error would count like a walk not a hit and not be factored in.

Errors are not treated like walks for OBP and OPS. Those stats are intended to show the batters performance, not a fielder's poor performance. Here is the official calculation used for OBP (sports statisticians created these formulas, not us):

OBP = (H + BB + HBP) / (AB + BB + HBP + SF)

OPS just adds slugging percentage to the OBP value, and slugging also counts reached on error as an at bat.

[AaronStanford]

So getting to base because of an error is not factored in on OBP but counts as an at bat for slugging pct.

[FTMSupport]

That is correct... a batter did not earn the base when they made it because of a fielding error. Offensive stats generally only reflect what a batter earned, not the mistakes of fielders.

Thank you.
