runs batted in
A player's runs batted in (RBI) is the number of runners that have been able
to score, including him/herself, as a result of the player's at bats.
The player does not get credit for an RBI if the runs during an at bat
scored because of a errors.
Examples:
1 RBI: With a runner on third, the batter hits a single, scoring that runner
2 RBI: With a runner on first, the batter hits a home run (one RBI for scoring the runner, one RBI for scoring him/herself)
4 RBI: A grand slam
0 RBI: With a runner on first, the batter hits a single to advance the other runner to second base
0 RBI: With a runner on second, a fielder commits an error trying to handle the ball the batter hit, and as a result of that error, the runner scores
