ok because i read somewhere that the BA is an older statistic and OBP is a newer more truer stat to how good a batter is. This is a little more clear now tell me if im right or wrong,

but its truer because it also includes fielders choice to get rid of a particular batter using walks and such?

a hit is every time a batter hits safely and makes it to first base, dicounting fielding errors.

And at bats is similar but includes when they get out so shows every time they are at the plate, still discounting walks and such.

am i getting any closer? lol
