		This is an advanced statistic which requires the complete understanding of on base percentage, slugging average and a park adjustment factor.
		Numerous statistical studies done by Total Baseball have shown that the break even success rate for steals (the rate at which an attempt to steal is neither helping nor hurting the team in terms of total runs scored) is about 67%.
		Therefore, the statistic is meant to estimate the impact of base-stealers, which, other than the elite base-stealers, rarely amounts to more than a few runs per year for each team.

		Traditionally, statistics like batting average for batters (the number of hits divided by the number of at bats) and earned run average (approximately the number of runs given up by a pitcher per nine innings) have governed the statistical world of baseball.

	Double (baseball) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In baseball, a double is the act of a batter striking the pitched ball and safely reaching second base without being called out by the umpire, without the benefit of a fielder's misplay (see error) or another runner being put out on a fielder's choice.
		Typically, a double is a well-hit ball into the outfield that finds the "gap" between the center fielder and one of the corner outfielders, or bounces off the outfield wall and down into the field of play or is hit up one of the two foul lines.
		Doubles typically drive in runs from third base, second base, and even from first base at times.
