Poll: Do You Play in an OBP League?

For the first time this year, I am participating in a league that counts on base percentage instead of batting average. And it’s a big league — Tout Wars. Eno and I are both competing, so we will have first hand knowledge/experience with this format and how hitter values change. As a result, we will be able to include OBP analysis in our articles if enough of you readers play in such leagues.

So, please tell us whether you play in a league that includes OBP as a category instead of AVG.





Mike Podhorzer is the 2015 Fantasy Sports Writers Association Baseball Writer of the Year and three-time Tout Wars champion. He is the author of the eBook Projecting X 2.0: How to Forecast Baseball Player Performance, which teaches you how to project players yourself.

yeah, i have a league with both, and a league that does avg/ops, but no league where obp replaces avg

Leagues with both (or AVG/OPS) are incredibly dumb and should be banned from the face of the earth.

my league is 10×10 – with h,r,hr,rbi,bb,so,sb,avg,ops, and tb. – lest any of you thought my “no” was for a simple avg+4 league
