In a Head to head league, why a player does not keep his AVG when hit by a pitch?
One of my players was hit by a pitch twice. At the end of the day he was 0-2. Why was that?

It doesn't hurt or help the AVG, it's a walk.

Getting hit by a pitch doesn't count as a hit, or even an official at-bat; a player who had one play appearance and was hit by a pitch would be 0-0. If you had a player who was 0-2 and hit by pitches twice it should mean he had two at-bats where he made outs and was hit by the pitch twice.
If he had no other play appearance, just the two where he was hit, and was listed as 0-2, that's a mistake (because HBP do not count as ABs)

HBP is counted exactly the same as a walk. There is no at bat so there is no effect on a player's average. Your player went 0-2, but stepped up to the plate four times if he was hit twice. His stats should be 0-2 2 HBP, meaning 2 at-bats with no hits and twice reached base from being hit by a pitch.

Being hit by a pitch counts the same as a walk...it does not count as a time at bat. Your player might have gotten out 2 times, and hit by a pitch twice, and he goes 0 for 2.

If you're hit by two pitches, bat four times, and don't get a hit, then a batter would be 0-2.
HBP does not affect batting average. Only hits causing the batter to be out count against batting average.
Fielders choice's, bases on balls, and sacrifice hits do not count against average.
If it is in fact the truth that your hitter only batted twice and was hit by two pitches, thus creating a situation where his stat line should read 0-0 with 2 BB (or HBP), then that is a scoring error. Contact Yahoo! and get it fixed.

HBP doesn't count as an at-bat. If your player was up 4 times, got hit twice, and made out twice, he's 0-2.
This is the same as when the player walks. It doesn't count as an at-bat, but does get figured into plate appearances to determine on-base percentage.

He probably had 4 at bats 2 got hit by pitch 2 he was retired. It doesnt count as an at bat.

He shouldn't have been 0-2 he should have been 0-0 with an obp% of .1000.
The hbp shouldn't count as an at bat at all. The scorekeeper was wrong.

He should have got 0 for 0 with 2 hbp.That was incorrect scoring.

Because he didn't EARN his hit.
Kind of like the difference between a technical foul and a personal foul in basketball.
It's just a techicality.
