Batting, 2004
| HR: Home runs hit. | RBI: Runs that scored because of this batter's plate appearance. | H: Times the batter reached base by hitting the ball, without help from an error. | R: Runs — scored by the batter, or allowed by the pitcher. | SB: Bases taken while the pitcher was delivering. Being caught is counted separately. | 2B: Hits that carried the batter to second base. | 3B: Hits that carried the batter to third base. | BB: Times the batter reached first base on four balls. | SO: Times this batter struck out — lower is better. | AVG: Hits per at-bat. .300 is the traditional line between a good hitter and a great one. | OBP: Share of plate appearances that ended with the batter on base — hits, walks and hit-by-pitches. | SLG: Total bases per at-bat, so a home run counts four times a single. | OPS: On-base percentage plus slugging. Around .800 is All-Star level, .900 is MVP territory. | |
