Games Played (G)

Definition

A player is credited with having played a game if he appears in it at any point -- be it as a starter or a replacement. It's important to note that the player doesn't necessarily need an at-bat. He can also enter for defense or as a pinch-runner.

Typically, if a player records 162 games played, it means that he appeared in every game that season. But there have been instances in the past where players have exceeded that number -- either because they were traded during the season or because they played in a tiebreaker game at the end of the season.

Extra-base Hit (XBH)

Definition

An extra-base hit is defined as any hit that is not a single, meaning doubles, triples and home runs are all considered extra-base hits. They are a good stat to look at to evaluate an offensive player's power -- and in some cases, his speed.

An extra-base hit is typically a ball that is hit very hard, and it often goes to the outfield wall. (Obviously, in the case of a home run, it usually goes over the wall). Speedier hitters have a slight advantage in attaining extra-base hits because they can use their foot speed to reach second base faster.

Extra-base-hit totals can also be used to evaluate pitchers, although this is done less frequently. In that case, it is referred to as extra-base hits against.
