A seemingly intrinsic part of the game of baseball is the keeping of statistics on the achievements of the players. Started by [Henry Chadwick]? in the 19th century who devised the concept of batting average based on his experience of cricket. Some of the most oftenly used statistics will be explained here:

- /AB
- /BA
- /BB
- /ERA
- /HBP
- /OBP
- /OPS
- /SB
- /SF
- /SLG
- /PA

Other terminology (to be) defined here (should maybe be in a different section)

- /ball
- /earned run
- [/passed ball]?
- [/strike zone]?
- /total bases
- [/wild pitch]?

- sabermetrics

NB: This was going to be a kinda mini-/sabermetric thing, but I found myself defining some of the standard terms, too. If someone with moderator power could put them under a different subhead (Baseball, or BaseballTerminology? or somesuch), that'd be nice-- Gareth Owen
