May 25, 200718 yr a batter's only official at-bat is registered as a base on balls, what is his OBP? SLG? (the answer: I don't know....that's why I'm asking)
May 25, 200718 yr OBP = 1.000 SLG = Undefinable You need to have atleast 1 AB in order to calculate slugging percentage. The formula is simply TB/AB. The walk would count as a TB but no AB would be recorded since a BB only counts as a plate appearance and not an at bat. Plug the TB into the formula and you get 1/0 and any number divided by zero is undefinable.

May 27, 200718 yr QUOTE(danman31 @ May 25, 2007 -> 03:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Walks don't count as total bases or in slugging. They also don't count as an official at-bat making the original question a trick question. Gaedel has 0 career at-bats.
