In the most basic runs created formula:
where H is hits, BB is base on balls, TB is total bases and AB is at-bats.
This formula expands on the basic formula by accounting for a player’s basestealing ability.
where H is hits, BB is base on balls, CS is caught stealing, TB is total bases, SB is stolen bases, and AB is at bats.
This formula accounts for all basic, easily available offensive statistics.
where H is hits, BB is base on balls, CS is caught stealing, HBP is hit by pitch, GIDP is grounded into double play, TB is total bases, IBB is intentional base on balls, SH is sacrifice hit, SF is sacrifice fly, SB is stolen base, and AB is at bats.
