Batting Average
(Hitting)Batting average (BA) is defined as the number of hits divided by at bats. It is usually reported to three decimal places and pronounced as if it were multiplied by 1,000: a player with a batting average of .300 is "batting three-hundred."Slide3
Batting Average
Calculate Austin Jackson’s Batting Average. Austin gets 202 hits in 670 At Bats, what is his batting average? (Write the answer to the nearest thousandth).202 Hits670 at bats

Slugging Percentage (Hitting)
Slugging percentage (abbreviated SLG) is a popular measure of the power of a hitter, not only does it let you know if a player hits often, it lets you know how much extra base power a player has. It is calculated as total bases (TB) divided by at bats (AB): Slide5
Slugging Percentage
Calculate Don Kelly’s Slugging Percentage. Don has 132 singles, 15 doubles, 2 triple, and 4 home runs in 451 At Bats, what is his Slugging Percentage (round to the nearest thousandth)?1(132 singles) + 2(15 doubles) + 3(2 triple) + 4(4 Home Runs)451 At Bats
= 0.40798 round to 0.408Slide6
Earned Run Average (Pitching)

WHIP
(Pitching)Walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP) is the number of baserunners a pitcher has allowed per inning pitched, this includes players receiving a base on balls (BB). To calculate WHIP add up all the hits (H) and walks (BB) a pitcher has allowed, then divide by the number of innings pitched (IP).Slide9
WHIP
Calculate Drew Smyly’s WHIP. Drew gives up 99 hits and walks 37 batters during 107 innings pitched, what is his WHIP?37 walks + 99 hits
107 Innings Pitched

Calculate Ramon Santiago’s Fielding Average. If Ramon has 119 putouts, 37 assists, and 6 errors, what is his fielding average (Write the answer to the nearest thousandth.)?119 Put Outs + 37 Assists
119 Put Outs + 37 Assists + 6 Errors
= 0.962962 Round to 0.962
