I would expect A edges out B in, of all things, RBI.

B has more XBHs and will cover that gap. I voted B but I have no idea if either one will meaningfully outproduce the other.

Wouldn't B, assuming equal at bats, get more XBH and therefore more homers/RBI while making up for fewer singles with more walks?
-
Yes. Both will be similarly productive for that reason. But A moreso.

I think it would depend on where A and B hit in the lineup. If B is scoring more runs because his OBP gives others RBI opportunities, then his production might be more impactful. If A is hitting with runners on base more often, then the higher BA plays more.
-
Yeah, I vote A, all else equal. But the team context matters. A guy who hits .220/.280/.550 can be more valuable than a guy with a .350 OBP, if his lineup is full of guys who get on base, don't run & don't have power.

B,
#actually. It’s not close. -
Help me understand why. Their OBA and slugging are identical. One has a higher batting average, so more hits but fewer walks. Every hit gets the batter to (at least) 1B same as a walk, plus sometimes beyond 1B and always more likely to drive in runs.

HRs and doubles lead to more runs than singles

How many ABs for each?
