Davis, Willie L CF 2(-1)e9 54 8 4 1 6 0 3 0 .296 .463 .291 1R 5.43M

Willie is hitting .296, his OBP is .291--how can his OBP be lower than his BA?--I seem to remember there is a way this can happen.....

i think a sac fly goes against his OBP but doesn't count as an AB on his BA.....probably same with sac bunt

A Sac Fly definitely counts against your OBP, as it's counted as a PA, UNlike how it's treated when figuring Batting Average.
