It would be nice to know a bit more about how lucky or unlucky my pitchers are getting.

I'll admit I thought this was coming after FIP was added. I know the stat page is getting full, but I'd like it, too.

I thought that as well. I was expecting more peripherals but alas. It didn't happen.

Because BABIP requires AB for pitchers would i be right in using the formula

BABIP= (HITS-HRS) / AB { ((IPX3)+BB+HB) } -K-HR

with AB being IPx3 + walks + hit batters

or is there a way to see AB?
is there a way to see Sacrifice flies for pitchers?
for fly ball pitchers BABIP seems valuable in determining defense more than luck.

wOBA -- YES

OPS treats obp and slg as equals but wOBA makes all xtra base hits worth more on a weighted scale - but i think the scale changes yearly so it may have to have a preset avg work into formula (thats computer stuff and out of my ability).

I will add though that in softball wOBA added more to homerun hitting teams. Oklahoma as an xample other teams have same results with more AB

I doubt I would ever consider wOBA since OPS has been proven to be a better measure of performance.

Not to say more stats aren't good. I just don't see myself using it much personally.
