"Ever Wonder?" Q. How are "All League" players selected? A: At the end of each season, coaches select the best players, by positions according to statistics and overall performance. Coaches traditionally get only one vote per position and coaches cannot vote for their own players. Q. Who are the "All-State" Players? A. All League seniors who are nominated to the "Senior Feeder Game" (a two-game series of senior only competition between another league and/or division) are evaluated by coaches and representatives to play in the All-State games. Q. How do you calculate the following? A. On Base percentage: Divide the total of hits, walks, and hit by pitch by the total of at bats, all bases on balls, hit by pitch, and sacrifice flies. Ignore being awarded first base on interference or obstruction. Earned Run Average: Multiply the total earned runs charged against his pitching by 9, and divide the result by the total number of innings he pitched. Slugging percentage: Divide the total bases of all safe hits by the total times at bat (total times at bat is the number of times batting, except no time at bat is charged for (1) sacrifice bunt or sacrifice fly (2) base on balls (3) hit by pitch (4) awarded first base on obstruction or interference) Slug percentage: Divide the number of times thrown out at a 2nd base by 90 feet. Batting Average: Divide the total of number safe hits by the total times at bat. Fielding Percentage: Divide the total putouts and assists by the total of putouts, assists, and errors. On Bench percentage: Your total attitude divided by your effort. "Did you know?" Every ball his over the fence at Mt. Baker becomes a Riverside souvenir. Due to liability concerns, lost balls are not to be retrived by players. We lose an average of 6 balls per game. The unnoficial "tales of the tape" at Mt. Baker field: 725 ft. to left, 960 to center, and 745 to right. The distance between the back of home plate and second base is 127 feet 3 3/8 inchs. The infield is a 90 foot square. The minimum legal distance between home plate and the nearest outfield fence is 375 feet. "Making History" First Win - First game! Vs. Mt. S; played at Mt. Baker Middle School, 7-3, March 17th, 1996.
