Stats
Use this page to read a stat line in FTG Baseball. Each table says what a stat means and which screen shows it. OVR and POT are scouting grades, not results, so they are not here.
Batting
Batting stats are what a hitter has done this season. The Player screen shows them as tiles at the top. A box score shows a short version for one game.
| Stat | What it means | Where shown |
|---|---|---|
| PA | Plate appearances: every time the hitter comes up to bat. | Player |
| AB | At-bats. Rate boards on Leaders need a minimum number of them. A box score lists it. | Leaders |
| AVG | Batting average: hits per at-bat. | Player, Leaders |
| OBP | On-base percentage: how often a hitter reaches base. | Player, Leaders |
| SLG | Slugging percentage: bases per at-bat. It rewards extra-base hits. | Player, Leaders |
| OPS | On-base plus slugging. One number for getting on base and hitting for power. | Player, Leaders |
| H | Hits. A box score lists it. | Leaders |
| 2B | Doubles. | Leaders |
| 3B | Triples. | Leaders |
| HR | Home runs. | Player, Leaders |
| RBI | Runs batted in. | Player, Leaders |
| R | Runs scored. | Player, Leaders |
| SB | Stolen bases. | Player, Leaders |
| BB | Walks drawn. A box score lists it. | Player, Leaders |
| K | Strikeouts. Lower is better for a hitter, so Leaders has no board for it. A box score lists it. | Player |
| sWAR | Simplified wins above replacement: runs above average scaled to wins. Do not compare it with other sites' WAR. | Player |
| VORP | Value over replacement player, in wins. The GM leaderboard scores your moves on it. | Player |
Pitching
Pitching stats are what a pitcher has done this season. The Player screen shows them as tiles for a pitcher. Leaders also ranks them.
| Stat | What it means | Where shown |
|---|---|---|
| GS | Games started. | Player |
| IP | Innings pitched. A third of an inning is written .1, so 145.1 is 145 and one third innings. | Player, Leaders |
| W-L | Wins and losses. | Player |
| W | Wins. | Leaders |
| SV | Saves. | Player, Leaders |
| HLD | Holds. | Leaders |
| ERA | Earned run average: earned runs a pitcher allows per nine innings. Lower is better. | Player, Leaders |
| WHIP | Walks plus hits allowed per inning pitched. Lower is better. | Player, Leaders |
| ERA+ | ERA compared with the league this season. 100 is average and higher is better. | Player |
| FIP | Fielding-independent pitching: ERA with the defense behind the pitcher taken out. | Player |
| K | Strikeouts. A box score lists it. | Player, Leaders |
| BB | Walks allowed. A box score lists it. | Player |

Fielding
FTG Baseball shows fielding in two small places, and both are counts.
| Stat | What it means | Where shown |
|---|---|---|
| G at a position | How many games the player has played at each position this season. | Player |
| E | Errors. The Player screen puts them in brackets beside the games at that position. A box score lists who made an error. | Player, Dashboard, Team overview |
Leaders
Leaders is where the game ranks players against each other. Three of its panes have their own numbers.
| Stat | What it means | Where shown |
|---|---|---|
| Stars of the league | The top players, ranked on VORP. If the league has no VORP yet, it ranks on sWAR. A hitter needs 200 PA to appear. A pitcher needs 50 IP. If nobody qualifies yet and no pace list shows, the pane reads "Closest to 200 PA / 50 IP" and lists the players nearest the bar. | Leaders |
| Pace setters | Shows in place of Stars early in a season, when nobody has 200 PA or 50 IP. It ranks projected sWAR for players with at least 50 PA or 10 IP. | Leaders |
| Top starts | The best single starts of the season, ranked by GSc. | Leaders |
| GSc | Game Score: one number for how well a pitcher threw in a start. 50 is roughly average and 80 or more is dominant. | Leaders |
Qualifiers on the rate boards
AVG, OBP, SLG and OPS list only hitters with enough at-bats. ERA, WHIP and K/9 list only pitchers with enough innings. A full season asks for 350 AB or 100 IP. Early in the season the bar is lower and grows with the schedule. Each board prints the bar it uses, in the form "min N AB" or "min N IP". A board with nobody over the bar shows the players closest to it. The counting boards, such as HR and K, have no minimum.
