OBP is abbreviation for 'on base percentage.' The equation for OBP is (number of hits + number of base on balls + number of hit by pitch ball) divided by (number of at bat + number of base on balls + number of hit by pitch ball + number of sacrifice fly). OBP always have to be higher than hit average.
OBP is used to evaluate how well a batter can distinguish strikes and balls. Normally, if OBP is higher than 0.400, then the hitter has very OBP. In other words, better hitter has high OBP.
