Question:
Answers:
SLG = (1B + (2 x 2B) + (3 x 3B) + (4 x HR))/ AB , where AB is the number of at-bats for a given player, and 1B, 2B, 3B, and HR are the number of singles, doubles, triples, and home runs, respectively.
adds up you total bases example
if you get a home run your total would be 4000 each base=1000
Batting average is the percentage of hits per (non-base-on-balls or sacrifice) at-bats. Slugging percentage is percentage of hits that are more than a single.
Total amount of bases reached on hits, divided by at-bats.
Basically, it's just batting average, except a double counts as 2 hits, a triple as 3, and a home run as 4. Like with batting average, walks don't count.
Who do you think is the best 2nd Baseman in Baseball today? And Why?
A batter's slugging percentage is an average of how many bases he reaches per at-bat.To determine the slugging percentage, you add up the total number of bases on hits the player acquired and divide that number by the number of at-bats the player had.
A single counts as one base, a double as two, a triple as three, and a home run as four.
So if a player has 24 singles, 8 doubles, 1 triple, and 3 home runs, he would have 55 total bases (24 singles equals 24 bases; 8 doubles equals 16 bases; 1 triple equals 3 bases; 3 home runs equals 12 bases).
Further, let's say this player has 124 at-bats. His slugging percentage would be 55 (total bases on hits) divided by 124 (at-bats): .444. The player averages 0.444 bases per at-bat.
If he had only one at-bat and he hit a home run in that at-bat, his slugging percentage would be 4.000; he averages four bases per at-bat.
