Barry Bonds, the Career Walk Leader, Has Advice for Bryce Harper: Steal More. Washingtonâs Bryce Harper being intentionally walked by the Cubs on May 8.

WASHINGTON â When pitchers were intentionally walking Barry Bonds more than anyone else in baseball history, his father had a simple message for him.
Because thereâs more to getting on base than simply getting a hit. The old saying âa walk is as good as a hitâ is almost true. And the problem with batting average is that it completely ignores walks. A .270 hitter who draws 100 walks per year will probably have an on-base percentage around .400. But a .310 hitter who draws 20 walks languishes down around the .333 mark.
