I had a friendly conversation with an assistant coach about how ROE's are counted. In my spreadsheet, I modified it 8-9 years ago so that when a player gets an ROE it counts towards their OBP. I know that according to official stats this is not to be the case. My argument is that speedy players and slappers tend to have more ROE's, because they cause the defense to make errors and it should go towards their OBP. Note that my stats are not official stats, but for me to use as tool for lineups and such.
How many others include an ROE in the OBP, and do you think that it should be included in the game of softball? My answer would be; yes it should.
