One of the most basic, informative, and useful of all baseball statistics is a player’s batting average. For almost a century, batting average was the primary statistic used to measure a hitter’s ability but for some “experts,” that is no longer true. Batting average is sneered at by most “sabermetricians” because it is too simple and easy to comprehend.

For over a quarter of a century, most batters have been “aggressive” and view a base on balls as little more than a wasted opportunity to get a hit, but many years ago, before the era of the three run home run and leadoff batters who walk twenty three times in over seven hundred plate appearances (Alfonso Soriano in 2002), there were players whose primary purpose was to draw a walk. They were the “table setters” or the rally starters and they were not concerned with driving in runs. They were concerned with scoring runs.
