    "the number of hits divided by the # of official plate appearances

    Official plate appearance is plate appearances that end in a hit or an out. A walk or a reach on error do not count"

    You're just confusing the issue. It's AT BATS, not plate appearances, and let it go at that.

    F.E. 2 hits in 10 at bats is .200
