The PITCHERS spreadsheets calculate a number called "Adjusted On-Base Average" (ADJ OBA) for every pitcher on the

team.
Adjusted On-Base Average uses the pitcher's opponent On-Base Average (OBA) and then adjusts it down or up based on several factors.

The first factor compares the pitcher's ground-out to fly-out ratio to the pitcher's walks and hits per inning pitched.
IF the pitcher has a high ratio of ground outs to fly outs AND a low walks/hits per inning pitched, the ADJ OBA is changed for the better.
(See "OUT-H/BB" column for this adjustment, you want a positive OUT-H/BB for the pitcher). IF NOT it worsens the ADJ OBA.
This factor basically looks for an indication that the guy doesn't give up many hits and walks per inning and grounds people out more than not.

The second factor adjustes the pitcher's ADJ OBA for the better in relationship to his SO/BB ratio.
The higher the ratio the better the improvement on the ADJ OBA.
This factor rewards guys who have good control and don't walk a lot of batters.

The third factor adjustes the pitcher's ADJ OBA for the better in relationship to his SO/IP ratio.
The higher the ratio the better the improvement on the ADJ OBA.
This factor rewards a guy who shows the consistent ability to strike out batters every innning.

The last factor looks for guys who have trouble giving up walks and hits per inning.
This last factor improves the ADJ OBA if a guy gives up less than 1.4 walks+hits per inning. IF NOT then ADJ OBA changes for the worse.
This factor really highlights those guys getting hit hard and losing their control.

ALL of these factors above roll up very nicely into a single number that tells you how well the pitching staff is doing.

The HITTERS/FIELDERS spreadsheets calculate a number called "Adjusted Batting Average" (ADJ AVG) for every hitter on the team.
This ADJ AVG is a way to quantify both the overall hitting and the fielding of the player with one number.
It is caclulated using an average of the batters Batting (AVG), On-Base (OBA), and Slugging (SLG) Averages subtracted by a fielding factor.
The worse of a fielding percentage (FPCT) the batter has the more is subtracted from his ADJ AVG number.

It rolls nicely up into a single number that tells you how well the hitting staff is doing for the team.
