In the world of baseball statistics, total bases (TB) is a crucial metric that quantifies a player’s offensive performance.
Unlike simple hit counts, total bases provide a weighted sum of a player’s hits, assigning different values to singles, doubles, triples, and home runs.
For instance, a single is worth one base, while a home run contributes four bases to a player’s total. Understanding total bases helps fans and analysts gauge a player’s ability to contribute to the team’s scoring opportunities.
This statistic only includes bases gained from hits, excluding other means such as walks or errors.
