Extra-Base Hits XBH

XBH stands for extra-base hits in baseball. Hits that went for more than one base.

How XBH is calculated

XBH = 2B + 3B + HR

A season with 80 or more extra-base hits is rare territory; the leaders are nearly always the league’s best sluggers, since home runs make up the largest share.

What counts as a good XBH?
