Baseball statistic
In
baseball statistics, the term times on base (TOB), is the cumulative total number of times a
batter has reached base as a result of a
hit,
base on balls, or
hit by pitch. This statistic does not include times reaching base by way of an
error,
uncaught third strike,
fielder's obstruction or a
fielder's choice, making the statistic somewhat of a
misnomer.
