It is supported by the fact that the pitchers came into the games during critical situations and helped finish the inning without allotting any runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWell know closer Mariano Rivera as a pitcher, has a high percentage of LOB at around 80.4% with a minimum of 1000 innings pitched.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAnother reputed player, three-times Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw has a LOB percentage of 79% the highest in his career with a minimum of 2000 innings pitched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nDoes a double play count as LOB?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nYes, it is counted as a runner LOB. There remains 1 baserunner during the end of the innings, meaning that a baserunner is left on the base. In an instance, where the base runner is put out for the final out, the batter will be counted as a runner left on the base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhat is a good LOB baseball?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nLOB% of 75% to 80% is considered good. Below 65% of LOB is considered to be bad. A good LOB%, therefore, is between 75% and 80%, while a bad LOB% is anything lower than 65%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nWhat is the average LOB?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n72% of LOB% is considered an average. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nConclusion<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nLOB is the instance, in which the runner stranded on the base is calculated. It is regarded as both – team statistics and individual statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the case of an individual batter, you calculate by counting how many runners are on the base after the batter is put out, failing to score those runners or being unable to score by himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
