I am trying to create an applet for people to enter information, and the program should return a certain stat.

However, after the user inputs all of the necessary information, no data is returned but this error message is:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at sun.misc.FloatingDecimal.readJavaFormatString(FloatingDecimal.java:991)
at java.lang.Double.parseDouble(Double.java:510)
at Player.toDouble(Player.java:110)
at Player.numSingles(Player.java:115)
at Player.clutchFactor(Player.java:122)
at Test.main(Test.java:19)

The program successfully returns a double when I input data, but it won't return when the user takes the data.

import java.io.*;
public class Test {

    public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
     {
		System.out.println("Go to sports.yahoo.com/mlb/ and look for situational stats");
		Player a= new Player ("2800", "33", "2", "23", "2", "51", "1", "3", "1", "345");
		Player bigGuy = new Player ();
		System.out.println(a.clutchFactor());
		System.out.println(bigGuy.clutchFactor());
	 }
