Bits and Beyond... On Base Percentage On Base Percentage is the average of a batter obtained by dividing the total number of hits, bases on balls and times hit by pitch by the total of at-bats, bases on balls, times hit by pitch and sacrifice flies. For example, if Barry has 529 at-bats, 175 hits, 64 walks, 7 times hit by pitch and 8 sacrifice flies, his on-base percentage is .405 or ((175+64+7)/(529+64+7+8)).
