Who are the Five Greatest Right Handed Hitters ever?
Batting average (by far the most common): hits / at-bats, to three decimals.Slugging average: total bases / at-bats.
Total bases: either (singles + 2*doubles + 3*triples + 4*home runs) or, because singles data isn't easily found, (hits + doubles + 2*triples + 3*home runs).
On-base percentage: (hits + walks + hit-by-pitch) / (at-bats + walks + HBP + sac flies).
Very approximate continuum for AVG/OBP/SLG:
major league replacement level: .220/.275/.300
backup infielder: .245/.290/.320
good defense man: .260/.315/.340
major league average: .270/.340/.375
high-strikeout slugger: .290/.360/.440
star player: .315/.390/.500
superstar: .330/.410/.550
MVP candidate: .350/.450/.600
Future Hall of Famer at peak: .375/.480/.700
Ruth/Bonds class: .390/.520/.800+
Have fun.

They take your total number of AB(at bats), and divide that number from your total number of hits. Say I got up 354 times and got 124 hits my average would be.350. I hope this helps you.Do you think Phillies Manager should be fired?
