You’re mistaking the stats that I am talking about. I am talking about taking one single baseball game and computing the number of times an at-bat led to an on-base. Over a season, teams and players converge to around 0.333, but in a given game generally half of at bats lead to being on base, through all means, not just hits. A given game yields an OBP of about 0.5 on average. The stats of moving the mound are indeed from before 1893, though tinkering with the height of the mound continued into the 1900s.
I made the assumption that rim height and free throw distance were moved around like the three point line. Thank you for pointing out my mistake.
