Batting Average VS On Base Precentage

If you're asking about HS or college stats they mean virtually nothing to pro scouts.

Scouts are going to evaluate your tools as a prospect and the ability of you to use those tools in professional baseball. They will make their educated guess as to how your tools will play in pro ball. They have zero interest in how you hit against HS or college pitchers.

If you were asking about the importance of minor league stats (batting average vs. OBP) I would tell you it depends on the player’s position and the organizational philosophy. Some teams favor OBP while others like SLG/ BA.

I wouldn't say "zero interest" in college stats at least. Certainly, many of the more Moneyball orgnizations, [Oakland. Toronto, Boston, to name the beter known] seem to put a lot of stock in OPS with is On-base percentage plus slugging. However, they do still usually want to see you before drafting you. I can't wait for spring either PHSBF. Good luck.
