The average NHL salary in 1972 was $ 25, 000, the lowest of the four major sports, while players were bound by the reserve clause, a clause in every player's contract that automatically extended a player's contract by one year when it expired, tying them to their team for the life of their career.

Therefore, a base on balls does not increase nor decrease a player's batting average, but it does increase his on-base percentage, unless a player's on-base percentage is 1. 000, in which case it remains the same.

For small numbers of at-bats, it is possible ( though unlikely ) for a player's on-base percentage to be lower than his batting average ( H / AB ).

On-base plus slugging ( OPS ) is a sabermetric baseball statistic calculated as the sum of a player's on-base percentage and slugging average.

The first mention of the stolen base, in a statistical sense was in the 1877 scoring rules adopted by the National League which noted credit toward a player's total bases when a base is stolen.

The main use of the plate appearance statistic is in determining a player's eligibility for leadership in some offensive statistical categories, notably batting average ; currently, a player must have 3. 1 PAs per game scheduled to qualify for the batting title ( for the 162-game schedule, that means 502 PAs ).

Also, it is often erroneously cited that total plate appearances is the divisor ( i. e., denominator ) used in calculating on base percentage ( OBP ), an alternative measurement of a player's offensive performance ; in reality, the OBP denominator does not include certain PAs, such as times reached via either catcher ’ s interference or fielder ’ s obstruction.
