minorer nit: 1 hit for every 3 at bats. plate appearances are the denominator for OBP, not batting average.
Touche, since walks are counted differently. Shows I've only been getting back into baseball recently.
A batting average of .333 (you hit one ball for every three throws) is considered very good. But you're missing two out of three. In golf, one wrong swing can ruin you.
The point is, when you're doing new things you should be failing often. If you're not you're playing the wrong game.
(I watch many more Alan Kay videos than I do sports, so I hope I'm describing baseball and golf accurately.)
