Total bases – Wikipedia
Total bases are the amount of bases a player has acquired as a result of his or her hits in baseball statistics. It is a weighted total in which the weight value for a single is 1, a double is 2, a triple is 3, and a home run is 4. Example: Three singles equal three total bases; a double plus a home run equal six total bases; three triples equal nine total bases Only bases gained as a result of hits are included toward this total. It is not possible to raise a player’s total number of bases by reaching base by other methods (for example, by reaching base on balls) or by moving forward after the hit (for example, by getting a hit from a subsequent hitter).
The slugging percentage of a player is calculated by dividing the total number of bases scored by the total number of at bats.
Records
Both Hank Aaron (left) and Babe Ruth (right) maintain the Major League Baseball records for total bases in a career and in a single season, with 6,856 and 457 runs respectively. Hank Aaron holds the all-time Major League Baseball record for total bases with 6,856 in his career. Because he has spent the most of his professional baseball career in the National League, he also owns the record for most total bases in that league with 6,591. Aaron has a total of 300 or more total bases in 15 separate seasons, which is a record.
- In the American League, Ty Cobb’s total of 5,854 bases is the all-time high.
- Babe Ruth holds the single-season MLB and American League hits marks with 457 total bases in the 1921 season.
- In a single game, Shawn Green had 19 total bases, which is a single-game record.
- Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers set the American League record most home runs and doubles in a game against the Baltimore Orioles on May 8, 2012, when he hit four home missiles and added a double (18 total bases).
- During a game against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on June 24, 2010, Pedroia went 3-for-3 with three home runs, one single, and a double for the Boston Red Sox.
- As a result of their 60 total bases, the Red Sox set the record for the most total bases scored by a club in a single game on June 8, 1950, when they defeated the St.
- Among big league pitchers, Phil Niekrog surrendered the most total bases in a lifetime (7,473), while Robin Roberts (555 total bases surrendered in 19556) set the single-season record with 555 total bases surrendered.
Allan Travers of the Detroit Tigers holds the record for the most total bases allowed by a single pitcher in a single game with 42, set in 1989.
Postseason
In a postseason game, two players have combined to bat for a total of 14 bases. This feat has only been accomplished once in the World Series, by Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 3 of the 2011 World Series, when he hit two singles and three home runs in a single at-bat. Robertson accomplished the same feat when playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates in Game 2 of the 1971 National League Championship Series, hitting a double and three home runs in the process, according to Baseball Reference.
Louis Cardinals, but Derek Jeter has the lifetime postseason record with 302 total bases, which he has amassed throughout his time with the New York Yankees.
The Atlanta Braves collected 34 total bases in Game 5 of the 1991 World Series, defeating the Minnesota Twins by a score of 14–5.
All-Star Games
While representing the American League in the 1946 edition of the All-Star Game, Ted Williams hit for a record 10 total bases (two singles and two home runs), setting a new record. There have been a total of 52 total bases scored in a single All-Star Game, the most recent being the 1954 edition, when the American League had 29 players and the National League had 23. The American League has amassed the most total bases by a single team in an All-Star Game twice, in 1954 and 1992, when they defeated the National League.

Total bases are calculated as follows: For the purposes of this total, only bases gained through hits are considered. With the help of the formula, it is possible to compute total bases from regularly used baseball statistics.

Where To Bet MLB Player Total Bases
Total bases is a statistic that, in my opinion, does not receive enough attention in baseball. It’s an excellent number for determining a player’s total impact on the game, and it demonstrates just how talented and well-rounded a player can be. Looking at the top-five players in the category over their careers (Hank Aaron, Stan Musial, Willie Mays, Barry Bonds, and Albert Pujols) is a fantastic illustration of how useful this statistic can be when used properly. That is a collection of five of the greatest hitters in baseball history.
Instead of wagering on individual hits in a game, wagering on total bases might be a lot more entertaining.
Alternatively, you might witness a player earn numerous singles in order to hit the over.
This post will explain you where you may place your own total bases bets on your own time.
Where To Bet MLB Player Total Bases:
America: Bovada is a wonderful venue to put bets on MLB player props, such as MLB Player Total Bases, among other things. Everywhere Else: At Bet365, you can get odds for MLB Player Total Bases, as well as odds for many other sports.
What is MLB Player Total Bases?(The Bet)
Total bases are defined as follows on the official Major League Baseball website: The number of bases a batter has amassed as a result of his hits is referred to as his total bases. A single, a double, a triple, and a home run all result in one total base for the hitter, two total bases for a home run, three total bases for a triple, and four total bases for a home run. Total bases are needed to calculate a player’s slugging percentage, which is calculated by dividing total bases by the number of at-bats.
- Advancement on the basepaths, whether via steal or otherwise, has no effect on a player’s overall number of bases.
- Steals are not counted, walks are not counted, and progressing along the basepaths is not counted.
- When you wager on total bases, it works in one of two ways: either you win or you lose.
- An outfielder with 1.5 total bases, such as Mike Trout, will have a total of 1.5 bases.
- If you believe he will not, place a wager on the under.
- This is an example of how it could work for Mike Trout.
- 6 and above (+689) This one is quite entertaining since you may place bets on higher and higher numbers in order to increase your chances of winning.
If the match-up is good for a guy like Mike Trout or Giancarlo Stanton, it would be worthwhile to wager on 4+ because that is only one home run for the player.

There are a variety of approaches that can be taken in this situation, but given the current state of baseball, I am not looking for a player to get 2-3 hits and bring me the victory in this situation. I’m simply searching for athletes that I know are capable of hitting a big ball and securing a win for us with a single home run. There are simply too many 1-for-4, 1-for-3 with a walk type evenings in today’s game for me to place my expectations any higher than that at this point in the season.

Why RBI is a bad stat?
Statisticians have discovered that the RBI performs a terrible job of gauging players’ individual hitting ability and is significantly more a result of the players’ surroundings, which serves to reinforce this point.

If you strike out, it is usual for catchers to toss the ball up and down the line to third base. Throwing the ball about causes the fielders to become more alert and keeps them on their toes. Additionally, tossing the ball to third keeps the infielders’ arms free for future throws.

Definition When a baserunner advances by stealing a base that he is not entitled to, this is known as stealing a base.

This sort of hit can be anything from a home run to a simple single, as long as it provides the baserunners enough time to get to home plate before the game ends. This term, on the other hand, is generally used when there are two or more runners on base and the batter knocks an extra-base hit that clears the bases and brings everybody home.

TBis the total number of bases a hitter has amassed while at the plate. There are no complicated calculations involved; each base hit has the same weight as the previous one – a single base hit adds one to the total, a double base hit adds three to the total, and so on. However, it does not take into consideration bases acquired in other methods (such as walks or hit by pitch).
Formula – How to calculateTB
TB = 1 base hit plus (2 x 2 base hits) + (3 x 3 base hits) + (4 x 4 base hits) + (4 x home runs)
Example
If a hitter has 75 one-base hits, 38 two-base hits, 7 three-base hits, and 13 home runs, then the following is true: TB = 75 + (38 x 2) + (7 x 3) + (38 x 2) + (38 x 3) (13 x 4) A total of 224TB is equal to 75 + 76 + 21 + 52TB. This hitter has amassed 224 bases on hits over his career.

The Base-Out Percentage: Baseball’s Newest Yardstick
That nothing happened when a bunt moved a man along, or a fly ball brought a runner home.After hiding such integral moments of the game, the batting average cannot proclaim itself an honest indicator of anything but the durability of its own clichés.How about the offshoot of the BA-the slugging average?
Yes, but then it loses all credibility by disregarding outs made while batting, enabling long-ball hitters to produce outs at a rapid clip and maintaining the slugging average with a once-in-a-great-while long hit.
Its simplicity may be startling, yet it entails everything a player accomplishes individually whenever his team is at bat.
Its roots are in the nature of the game itself, i.e., the struggle of all batters to attain as many bases as possible while attempting to avoid being put out.Unlike any other statistic, it takes each plate appearance into consideration.
It is a true barometer of what a player has accomplished during the season and his career.The base-out percentage is founded on the simple theory that a batter may embark on two journeys after completing a plate appearance: 1) back to the dugout, or more pleasurably, 2) to begin that magic trek around the bases.Bases are of the highest import, competing with outs for the production of the sport’s gold-runs!
The game is circling the bases before the third out occurs.
To build the highest ratio of bases to outs is his desire.
This is where the base-out percentage (BOP) comes into focus.It is figured in this manner:Basesare derived by adding total bases, walks, hit by pitch, stolen bases, sacrifice hits and sacrifice flies.Outsare totaled by adding “outs batting” (at-bats minus hits), sacrifice hits, sacrifice flies, caught stealing, and double-plays grounded into.
The result is the base-out percentage (BOP).Chronicling the base-out percentage is easy.
And the results are astounding. Let’s sample the 1977 records of two players, their reputations made on the traditional batting average, to see the base-out percentage in action-Willie Montanez, who played with Atlanta, and Gary Thomasson who performed for San Francisco:
| G | AB | R | H | TB | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | BA | SA | |
| Montanez | 136 | 544 | 70 | 156 | 249 | 31 | 1 | 20 | 68 | 0.458 | |
| Thomasson | 145 | 446 | 63 | 114 | 201 | 24 | 6 | 17 | 71 | 0.451 |
Montanez has the offensive advantage in the conventional rankings because of his batting average and slugging percentage. The base-out %, on the other hand, does not stop there. Consider the following additional, less well-publicized information:
| RB | HP | SB | SH | SF | OB | CS | DP | |
| Montanez | 35 | 1 | 3 | 388 | 1 | 181 | ||
| Thomasson | 75 | 1 | 16 | 4 | 8 | 332 | 4 | 7 |
Gary Thomasson is lovingly referred to as a “waiter,” while Willie Montanez is referred to as a “free swinger.” Willie Montanez, in other words, makes many more outs, all of which are dependent on his ability to avoid the base on balls while searching for extra bases by hitting away. In the short term, this may result in a few more baserunners than Thomasson, 249 total bases to Thomasson’s 201 (48 more bases), but this is practically neutralized by the BB column, with 35 walks to Thomasson’s 75.
- He has also made 56 more outs than Thomasson did by waiting for his pitch and noting that “a walk is as good as a hit.” This is primarily due to his inability to draw a walk.
- This is not the end of it.
- Tom Thomasson was able to stay away from the dp’s, hitting into only seven of them.
- He only stole one base and was apprehended once.
- In summary, the results of the comparison are as follows:
| Bases Made | Outs Made | Base-OutPercentage | |
| Montanez | 288 | 411 | 0.701 |
| Thomasson | 305 | 355 | 0.859 |
The base-out % is a far cry from the batting average and slugging average, which are also important statistics. It demonstrates that Thomasson had a more productive 1977 season. In terms of a professional career, this also demonstrates: Thomasson has a better base-out percentage (.715) than Montanez (.682). Using the base-out % from 1978, it may be possible to recreate what happened on the field last season. Consider the contrast between Pete Rose’s illustrious and hit-filled campaign in 1996 and Joe Morgan’s “season-long slump” in 1978.
In addition, consider the following:
| BA | SA | BOP | |
| Rice | 0.315 | 0.600 | 0.984 |
| Otis | 0.298 | 0.525 | 0.995 |
| Parker | 0.334 | 0.585 | 1.042 |
| Burroughs | 0.301 | 0.529 | 1.047 |
| Cromartie | 0.297 | 0.418 | 0.677 |
| Moreno | 0.235 | 0.303 | 0.752 |
| Buckner | 0.323 | 0.419 | 0.663 |
| Murcer | 0.281 | 0.403 | 0.788 |
| Munson | 0.297 | 0.373 | 0.600 |
| Downing | 0.255 | 0.342 | 0.632 |
The base-out percentage (BOP) has no effect on what a player does on the attacking side of the ball. A sacrifice counts as both a base gained and an out made in the game. A base is earned when you are struck by a pitch. For the first time, a stolen base is represented as a percentage of the total. What Eddie Stanky used to refer to as “intangibles”—such as not hitting into double plays, sacrificing, and waiting out a pitcher—are rightly rewarded in the base-out rate. Baseball’s allure has sprung in large part from the weighing of players’ statistics, as well as the analysis of the many offensive sectors to which each hitter has contributed.
- An.800 % indicates that for every 1,000 outs, a player has reached base on 80 percent of his attempts.
- Choosing a player who totals 60 bases per 100 outs (.600 BOP) over a player who totals 75 bases per 100 outs (.750 BOP) may be a mistake for a manager who is concerned about his team’s ability to score runs.
- This was a decrease from the previous year’s 11 “Big BOPers.” Joe Morgan of Cincinnati, who has a lifetime BOP mark of.971, is the current career BOP leader.
- The importance of the base-out % should be evident given the fact that Morgan and other players are expected to negotiate a contract following the 1979 season.
