In baseball statistics, opponents' batting average (denoted by O-AVG or O-BA), also referred to as batting average against (BAA) is a statistic that measures a pitcher's ability to prevent hits during official at bats. It can alternatively be described as the hitters' combined batting average against the pitcher. It is calculated as: Hits Allowed divided by (Batters Faced minus Walks minus Hit Batsmen minus Sacrifice Hits minus Sacrifice Flies minus Catcher's Interference).cite web|url=http://games.espn.go.com/content/legends/2002/story?page=glossaryterms | accessdate=2007-07-14| date=2001| publisher=ESPN.com| title=Classic Fantasy Baseball Glossary - Definitions of Terms]
