"The object of the game is to get runners on base and to advance them."
The above statement is Brady Anderson's view on hitting. He feels that the best measurement of this is on-base percentage and slugging percentage. By adding the two together, the resulting number is what Brady feels is the BEST hitting formula to judge hitters.
For example:
In 1996, Brady had an OBP of .396. His slugging was .637. This gives him a total of 1.034...good enough for 6th best in the American League in 1996.
All information on this stat was gathered from the Sports Illustrated Baseball '97.
