Detroit tigers how many wins 95?
In short: Total bases from hits (no walks) divided by At Bats (not plate appearances).Example: Batter gets two singles and two doubles in four times at bat. That's 6 total bases / 4 = 1.500 Slugging%.
Now lets say he gets two singles and two homers in 15 at bats. That's 10 total bases / 15 = .667 Slg %.
Slug= Singles (x1) + Doubles (x2)+ Triples (x3) + Home Runs (x4) / at bats

The formula (from baseball-almanac.com) is:Number of (Singles + [2 x Doubles] +[ 3 x Triples] + [4 x Home Runs]) divided by At Bats.
Walks count as plate appearances, but NOT as At Bats.Only hits are used in calculating SLG%.
For example, in 2003 Barry Bonds had 133 hits in 390 At Bats. The breakdown was as follows:
45 HR
1 3B
22 2B
65 1B
Using the above formula we get (65 + [2 x 22] + [3 x 1] + [4 x 45]) / 390
(65 + 44 + 3 + 180) / 390
(292) / 390 = .7487 SLG%
MLB.com also lists the SLG% as .749 Walks do not come into the calculation at any point.
