Each play is discrete and has a relatively small number of possible outcomes. In the late nineteenth century, a former cricket player, English-born
Henry Chadwick of
Brooklyn, New York, was responsible for the "development of the
box score, tabular standings, the annual baseball guide, the
batting average, and most of the common statistics and tables used to describe baseball."
[126] The statistical record is so central to the game's "historical essence" that Chadwick came to be known as Father Baseball.
[126] In the 1920s, American newspapers began devoting more and more attention to baseball statistics, initiating what journalist and historian
Alan Schwarz describes as a "tectonic shift in sports, as intrigue that once focused mostly on teams began to go to individual players and their statistics lines."

.^ The scorecards can be used when keeping score while following traditional ‘fan’ systems, as explained in my Baseball Basics for Brits guide.
The basic batting statistics include:
[129]
- At bats: plate appearances, excluding walks and hit by pitches—where the batter's ability is not fully tested—and sacrifices and sacrifice flies—where the batter intentionally makes an out in order to advance one or more baserunners
- Hits: times reached base because of a batted, fair ball without fielding error or fielder's choice
- Runs: times circling the bases and reaching home safely
- Runs batted in (RBIs): number of runners who scored due to a batter's action (including the batter, in the case of a home run), except when batter grounded into double play or reached on an error
- Home runs: hits on which the batter successfully touched all four bases, without the contribution of a fielding error
- Batting average: hits divided by at bats—the traditional measure of batting ability
The basic baserunning statistics include:
[130]
- Stolen bases: times advancing to the next base entirely due to the runner's own efforts, generally while the pitcher is preparing to deliver or delivering the ball
- Caught stealing: times tagged out while attempting to steal a base
The basic pitching statistics include:
[131]
- Wins: games where pitcher was pitching while his team took a lead that it never relinquished, going on to win
- Losses: games where pitcher was pitching while the opposing team took a lead that it never relinquished, going on to win
- Saves: games where the pitcher enters a game led by the pitcher's team, finishes the game without surrendering the lead, is not the winning pitcher, and either (a) the lead was three runs or less when the pitcher entered the game; (b) the potential tying run was on base, at bat, or on deck; or (c) the pitcher pitched three or more innings
- Innings pitched: outs recorded while pitching divided by three
- Strikeouts: times pitching three strikes to a batter
- Winning percentage: wins divided by decisions (wins plus losses)
- Earned run average (ERA): runs allowed, excluding those resulting from fielding errors, per nine innings pitched
The basic fielding statistics include:
[132]
- Putouts: times the fielder catches a fly ball, tags or forces out a runner, or otherwise directly effects an out
- Assists: times a putout by another fielder was recorded following the fielder touching the ball
- Errors: times the fielder fails to make a play that should have been made with common effort, and the batting team benefits as a result
- Total chances: putouts plus assists plus errors
- Fielding average: successful chances (putouts plus assists) divided by total chances
Among the many other statistics that are kept are those collectively known as
situational statistics. For example, statistics can indicate which specific pitchers a certain batter performs best against.

[134]
The growing popularity of sabermetrics since the early 1980s has brought more attention to two batting statistics that sabermetricians argue are much better gauges of a batter's skill than batting average:
[135]
- On-base percentage measures a batter's ability to get on base. It is calculated by taking the sum of the batter's successes in getting on base (hits plus walks plus hit by pitches) and dividing that by the batter's total plate appearances (at bats plus walks plus hit by pitches plus sacrifice flies), except for sacrifice bunts.[136]
- Slugging percentage measures a batter's ability to hit for power. .^ McKinney batted .364 with eight home runs, four doubles, four triples and 25 RBIs.

Some of the new statistics devised by sabermetricians have gained wide use:
- On-base plus slugging (OPS) measures a batter's overall ability. It is calculated by adding the batter's on-base percentage and slugging percentage.[138]

Baseball has inspired many works of art and entertainment. One of the first major examples,
Ernest Thayer's poem "
Casey at the Bat", appeared in 1888. A wry description of the failure of a star player in what would now be called a "clutch situation", the poem became the source of
vaudeville and other staged performances, audio recordings, film adaptations, and an opera, as well as a host of sequels and parodies in various media.

Every detail of play is recorded, and a man's mistakes are tabulated as well as his successes.... A line in a cricket score may read, 'Lockwood, caught Stoddart, bowled J. T. Hearne; 30.'... [T]here is so much that is left out! There is no mention of the fact that O'Brien missed Lockwood before he had scored, and that somebody else failed to take a chance when his score was ten. These are items that go to make cricket history; but there is no record of them in the analysis.... The man who catches a ball is thought worthy of mention, but the man who muffs one does not suffer by publicity."
