Runs produced

Runs produced is a baseball statistic that can help estimate the number of runs a hitter contributes to his team. The formula adds together the player's runs and Run batted in, and then subtracts the player's home runs. Home runs are subtracted to compensate for the batter getting credit for both one run and at least one RBI when hitting a home run. To counteract the double-counting, some have suggested an alternate formula which is the average of a player's runs scored and runs batted in.
