Since others have already answered your specific question about a pitchers stats, i’ll go through a hitters stats.Here is Ichiro’s stats (or “line” as it is sometimes called) from the All-Star game. I. Suzuki cf 3 AB, 1 R, 3 H, 2 RBI, 0 BB, 0 K, 0 LOB, 1.000 AVGHe played centerfield (cf)3 AB = 3 at bats1 R = he scored (crossed home plate) once.3 H = 3 hits 2 RBI = 2 Runs Batted In (called a “Ribbie”)0 BB = no Base on Balls (also called a “walk” — 4 “balls” in one at bat is a BB)0 K = no strikeouts (3 strikes in one at-bat is a strikeout)0 LOB = 0 Left On Base (after his at bats, no teammate was on a base)1.000 AVG (divide hits by at-bats) 3/3 = 1 (or 1.000)Here are few great MLB websites.www.mlb.comThe Official Site of Major League Baseballen.wikipedia.org/wiki/BaseballThe Basebal page at Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaIt has a good overview of the sport.www.baseball-almanac.com/The Official Baseball History Siteespn.go.com/mlb/ESPN – MLB Baseball Teams, Scores, Stats, News, Standings, Rumors …

IP= Innings PitchedH=Hits ER=Earned RunsBB= WalksK=Strike Outs

Bertram Bins IV · Answer

It means this:Wagner pitched one inning (IP), in which he gave up 2 hits (H) and 2 earned runs (ER). He had no walks (BB) and no strikeouts (K).Most of those are straightforward, but earned runs might be tricky for a baseball newbie. Basically, an earned run is a run for which the pitcher is responsible. If a pitcher allows a runner to reach base safely by anything other than an error, and if that run comes around to score – again without the aid of an error – then the pitcher is charged with an earned run.

1 Inning(s) Pitched2 Hits (when looking at pitchers’ stats, hits are the hits he gave up while on the mound, not hits that he had at-bat.)2 Earned Runs0 Walks (Base on Balls)1 Strikeout

Bertram Bins IV · Answer

Innings PitchedThis only refers to pitchers (obviously)Also, for pitchers, their stats usually refer to what they allow, not what they do at the plate. For example, in a position player’s stat line, H = Hits. For a pitcher, H = Hits allowed.
