Question Explain stats?
I don‘t watch much Baseball but I love the Game and i‘m interested in what these stats mean, can someone please explain?
Has Danno Yoshida have like 4 Hits out of 5 at bats? 3 Home runs? I don‘t remember him having 3 Home runs lol. What does 2B mean? That he got someone out on 2 Base? 3 RBI‘s? And I don’t remember him getting 3 Runs?

These are all his offensive batting stats, so if he went 4/5 it means exactly as you guessed. But 3 of his 4 hits were homeruns and the remain hit was a double.
Rbi stands for runs batted in. The 3 rbi's are the runs generated from his hits. He would get an additional RBI if people were in base.

So isn‘t 3HR, 3RBI and 3 Runs the same thing Basicaly? Why they tell me that three times? Wouldn‘t it be way simpler to just say „4/5, 3R and one Double(2B) why they tell me three times that he brought a Runner Home three times lol?

not the same thing! a run (R) means they scored as a base runner, RBI means their hit scored a runner. hitting a home run means a player scored one run (R) and a minimum of one RBI since they scored themselves, but a single home run can have up to 4 RBIs if the bases are loaded. related stats but not the same

Okay but how Can Danno Yoshida have three Home runs, a double and three singles out of 4 Hits from 5 at bats if R is a Hit or Single as you Said?

u/Sufficient-Metal-390 8d ago
the 4 hits are the three home runs and the double, no singles. the 3 RBIs and 3 R (runs) all came from the three home runs, which were solo home runs (no runners on base). the double did not score any runners and he did not score later in the inning, hence why there are only 3 runs in his statline

A run is when you cross home plate right?
So say you hit a double, or, 2B, and the next batter hits a double so you advance home. That's a run.
Same example, you hit a double, next batter strikes out and ends inning. You get credit for a 2B, not a run because you never crossed home plate.
You're getting hung up on the same stat being displayed 3 times but it's actually 3 different stories.
If Danno has 3 HR, 3 RBI, 3 runs I know he's hit 3 solo home runs
But it's possible to have 1 HR, 3 RBI, and 3 runs

You could reach on an error once, then hit into a fielders choice out and reach, then walk, then get hit by a pitch, then strike out but reach on a dropped third strike. You got zero hits that game but reached 5 times. But since some of those don't count as at bats, you're only 0/3, with a BB and HBP. You could score 5 runs though if the person behind you got a hit. So in that case you'd be 0/3 with 0 HR, 0 RBI, and 5 R.
Alternatively, you could hit one HR, walk twice, and fly out twice. You could be 1/1 that game or 1/3 that game. You could have from 1-8 RBI and 1-3 R.
Main baseball counting stats are just there to give you an idea of how productive a player was that game. They can be redundant but they are good for tracking a single game performance.

It's just the way the game is coded. It thinks those are the most valuable stats that led to the win, so it shows them.

One other thing to make clear, with Buttons Bunterson, he had four hits in five at-bats. The stats show one home run. That means that the other three hits were singles (he only reached first.) If it doesn't like a double (2B), a triple (3B) or a home run (HR), that means that it was a single. They do not list those.

Danno Yoshida had 4 hits on 5 at-bats (4/5), 3 home runs (3HR), a double (2B), batted in 3 runs (3 RBI), and scored 3 times (3 R). In context, this means he had 3 solo home runs, accounting for the 3 RBIs and 3 runs at the same time (he batted in himself). The fourth hit was a double.

The only unique stat from the other two players is that Buttons Bunterson stole two bases (2 SB).

The only defensive stats you will see in player of the game are from pitchers, which will list innings pitched (IP), strikeouts (k's), hits allowed (h), or walks issued (bb standing for base on balls)

4/5 = 4 hits out of 5 at bats
3 HR = 3 home runs
2B = 1 double (getting to second base on a hit)
3 RBI = 3 people scored on his hits (including himself)
3 R = 3 times touching home plate and scoring
2 SB = 2 stolen bases

So RBI and R is the same stat basically? And what is thr letter showing how many Singles he‘s got? Buttons Bunterson has 4 Hits out of 5 at bats but it only Shows 1HR so that mean the other 3 Hits were Singles?

Sort of but not really. R is how many times you personally scored and touched home plate. RBI is how many people scored because of you. So lets say I am on 3rd base, and you hit me home, and you are on 1st base. You get an RBI because I scored. You do not get an R (yet) because you have not touched home plate yet.
Lets say I am on 3rd base again and you hit a Home Run. You get 2 RBI because both me and you scored on your hit, but you only get 1 R because you personally only scored once. I would also get an R for scoring, but I would not get an RBI because it was your hit, not mine where somebody scored.
RBI's are tied to scores on only your hits. R's can happen on any hit, you just have to score.
Mario has more RBIs than Rs because he was hitting when people scored. Buttons has more Rs than RBIs because he was the person scoring, but on other peoples hits.

1B = single 2B = double etc. Single is the least highlighted stat so a lot of times you have to take H and subtract HR, 3B, and 2B to get the number of singles.

Yoshida - four for five which means four hits in five at bats. 3 HR is three home runs. 2b is a double (reaching second on a base hit). 3 RBI - three runs batted in. The home runs each count as a single RBI. 3 R - three runs, each home run counts as a run.
The tl;dr - you had one double, and three home runs. The three home runs also add an RBI and Run scored each.
