baseball stats question?

Question

what is the difference between the "LOB" for each batter and the "Team LOB"? i always see 2 different numbers in the box score

Answer 1

Frizzer is wrong--you don't add up the LOB for each player to get team LOB. You could have the bases loaded with nobody out, then all three batters could strike out and all three of them will get 3 LOB individually (which would equal 9); but the team LOB is how many are left on at the end of an inning when the third out is made--which would also be 3 in this case.

Answer 2

LOB for the player is the numbers of runners left on base when he was a hitter throughout the game. Example: If a player goes 0-4 and his first at bat he grounds out to the shortstop and no one is on base, nothing goes in the LOB column for him. If the next three at bats he leaves two runners on base, each at bat, after his at bat is over, that would be (6) runners LOB charged to the player. Use exactly the same calculation for every player on the team for that game and that would be team LOB. Jeterripken, you are correct.

Answer 3

LOB (LEFT ON BASE) PER BATTER AND PER TEAM
