Batters faced by pitcher

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In baseball statistics, Batters Faced by Pitcher (BFP), also known as Total Batters Faced (TBF), is the number of batters who made a plate appearance before the pitcher in a game or in a season. It is a more precise statistic than innings pitched or appearances, allowing statisticians to better measure a pitcher's per-batter efficiency.

For a given game, the number of plate appearances for an offense is 3×(Innings) + (Runs scored) + (Runners left on base).
