Could someone please tell me what this stands for. I know I must just be brain dead but can not figure it out! Thanks

A Sac Bunt.
bags,
I asked this last year and no one responded. I thought SB was sac bunt.
SHA, what is it? Can't be sac bunt cause mine has 2 and he doesn't bunt!

I found the following information on a baseball scorekeeping web-page...
Sacrifice Hit
A hit which results in one or more runners advancing and the batter being put out at first base.
The web-page also listed a Sacrifice Bunt being a bunt with the same end result.
Hope this may help clarify!!

Deleted due to poster's stupidity 
quote:I believe SHA indicates the number of sacrifice hits (the only sac hit I know of is a bunt ... ?)
Add sac flies to that too.
LOL...."sac flies"....sounds like I need to go get a pesticide or something for that!
I would think SH for a batter = sacrifice hit (even though they didn't get a hit)
SHA for a pitcher = sacrifice hits allowed.

Frank ...
Wel, DUH ! ! ! I think I will delete previous blunder ... feeling pretty stupid here.
luvbb ...
Don't they have a separate stat for flies - - >> SF ??

I knew a mom would give a good explanation one could understand!
Is SHA/ATT and SBA/ATT important for pitchers?

FBM,
Why did you delete? I thought it was a good answer! Maybe I knew what you meant?
I like the ratio thing explanation, guess that's where I was confused!
SHA/SBA/SFA all the same S...! I got it though, thanks!

Most of the books and scoresheets and boxscores will use SH for Sac Bunt and SF for Sac Fly.
SB is for Stolen Base...

To the stat sheet afficionado (a/k/a numbers geek), separating out all these stats gives you some significant info.
First of all, you have to separate sacrifice bunts (or "sacrifice hits" or "SH" -- even though they are not "hits") from sacrifice flies ("SF") because they are factored into other stats differently. In particular, SH's don't count against your on-base average, but SF's do. This in turn affects OPS ("on-base plus slugging", the new hot stat). (Though why that distinction has been made, I can't explain. Seems to me if the batter's going to get credit, he should get credit, not half credit. But I don't get to make the rules.)
From the standpoint of evaluating a pitcher, "SHA" would indicate whether he is good at preventing bunts or at fielding his position. A pitcher with a live fastball is going to be tough to get the bunt down against. A pitcher who fields well will sometimes get the advance runner, thereby turning the SH into a fielder's choice/no sacrifice.
SB/ATT is important both for catchers and pitchers. For catchers it's a measure of how good they are at throwing runners out. For pitchers it's a way of evaluating how well you're holding the runners. It would also be illuminating if a catcher has a great SB/ATT except for certain pitchers. This would indicate that those pitchers need to work on holding runners.

Midlo,
what is sho/cbo for pitcher?

I deleted it because Frank entered the correct info ... I said sac hits attempted (against pitcher) and it is actually sac hits allowed by pitcher.
Midlo ...
I don't know if they have an empticon for it or not but you just made me dizzy

I'm not Midlo, but...
sho = shutouts
cbo = combined shutouts (two or more pitchers)
Thank you Frank, I forgot to thank you before also!
