wOBA
Weighted On Base Average
From MLB.com
"wOBA is a version of on-base percentage that accounts for how a player reached base -- instead of simply considering whether a player reached base. The value for each method of reaching base is determined by how much that event is worth in relation to projected runs scored (example: a double is worth more than a single)."
In PsychoStats wOBA is both a team average statistic, and an individual player statistic. In PsychoStats wOBA does not include data for intentional walks and hit by pitch.
Formula:
( 0.69 * [Walks] + 0.89 * [Hits] - [Doubles] - [Triples] - [Home Runs] ) + 1.27 * [Doubles] + 1.62 * [Triples] + 2.10 * [Home Runs] ) / [At Bats] + [Walks] + [Sacrifice Flies] )
