Slash Line

I'll admit as much as I like stats I had been a bit old school on how I presented them. I've started to appreciate the slash line more because it gives a better representation on a hitter than just the batting average alone. The on base percentage shows the players ability to get on base whether it be by hit, walk, hit-by-pitch or error increases their chances to score runs. The slugging percentage gives you a better idea of how much a power hitter they are. Going forward I will be using the slash line when discussing hitters much like I've added the WHIP for the pitchers.
