Of course average is not the end all of judgements- but extra base hits are a good stat when looking at offensive production. A punch and judy hitter like Foreskin has to hit .340 or so to get any real production. I mean, you can say that his on base percentage is higher than Clark's- but Clark has 19 extra base hits to his 8. Doubles him in total bases and RBI's. Real production
