Is 6.38 a good time for the 40 yard dash in baseball?

Oh no. Your faster WR type guys will go about 4.4...bigger linemen types with speed like Richard Seymour about 4.8. Anything below 4.5 is above average speed, like a 4.2 is blazing. Shawn Merrimen, a LB ran just under a 4.5 coming out of college, bulked up for the NFL and ran a 4.61 at the combine. I mean, 6.2 might be good for someone not going to the NFL, but that's the only reason I even know what a 40 yd dash is. ahh no i mean how big are you for one thing? a good 40 dash would like 4.3 to 4.5 in high school college and a 4.4 to 4.6 in middle school but no 6.2 sucks man but if you are a linemen or like a grade schooler dont worry bout it

A rule may be applied that will end a game should a team be ahead by a certain number of runs (10, 15, etc.) after a certain number of innings have been played.

How do you calculate obs in baseball?

This is simply on-base percent plus Slugging. It is a stat similar to Gross Production Average -- it gives a number. The higher the better,

on-base percent is: (hits + walks + hit by pitch) / plate appearances.

Reaching on an error or a fielders choice does not count as an on-base. A sac fly does count as a plate appearance.

Slugging is: (1*Singles + 2*doubles + 3*triples + 4*homers) / total At Bats.

sacs and walks do not count as at bats.

The theoretical max for on-base percent is 1 (assuming you always get on base)

The theoretical max for Slugging is 4 (assuming you get a home run at every at bat)

to determine OPS; you just add the on-base percent to the slugging.

This makes the theoretical max for OPS: 5.000, unlike other stats where 1.000 is generally the max.
