How do u calculate Slugging% in baseball???

it's the # of bases per at bat.... add up the # of total bases (1 for single, 2 for double, 3 for triple, 4 for homerun) and divide by the number of at bats

As stated before: Walk + Hits / Innings Pitched. You want to see something 1.5 or less. Anything over 2.0 (meaning they walk or give up a hit to two batters per inning) and you know their ERA is going to rise as well.

Divide the number of hits by the total number of at bats.\n\n5 hits in 10 at bats = 5/10 = .500\n\n142 hits in 601 at bats = .236\n\n(Frodo has it backwards)

Easy enough:\n\nERA= (ER/IP)*9\n\nER = Earned Runs\nIP = Innings Pitched\nERA = average number of runs allowed per nine innings

From the Major League Baseball Rule Book:\n\nPUTOUTS \n10.10:\n\n.....(a) Automatic putouts shall be credited to the catcher as follows: ......(3) When the batter is called out for being touched by his own batted ball; ....\n\n\nTherefore, on the scorecard it would be written as: "2-U"\n\nmeaning: 2 (catcher's scoring positional number)-\n         U(nassisted put-out)

(12+8+4+26)/122 = 50/122 = .4098 ~ .410\n\nThat guy's a stud!\n\nThe misses, of course, would be 1 - .410 = .590\n\nIn case it is not clear, you must add all the hits to find the total and divide the total by the number of at bats.  Youo caught me in a good mood, must be the Hefeweisen.

If a batter comes to the plate with runners already on base, hits the ball and runners score, he is credited with an RBI for each run scored or (Run Batted In)\n\nhttp://bestsportsdirect.com  Baseball hitting sticks on sale now!

I believe the avg. batting avg. is around .275.  I feel a high batting avg. is .300 or above.

There's a very similar statistic to the one you created, called SECA, or Secondary Average. It measures your total bases gained independent of batting average, and the only major difference in the formula from yours is that it uses AB instead of PA. Here's the formula for it: \n\n(TB - H + BB + SB - CS) / AB\n\nThis is in comparison to yours which is this:\n\n(TB + BB + HBP + SB) / PA\n\nThe purpose of these stats is a little different (Yours is supposed to be an end-all stat, while SECA is a way to look at a player's production as well as their ability to get on base, similar to OPS.) The AB/PA difference is fairly large as well, but this just shows that you're not the only one thinking this way, and we could see another transition away from OPS sometime in the future.

it's not a formula, it's a work of art.\n\ntypically, the leadoff and number 2 hitters are good at getting on base, and have some speed...think derek jeter or carl crawford.  the 3rd and 4th hitters are the cleanup hitters, they 'clean up' the bases (ideally) by hitting with the others on base in front of them (think alex rodriguez or barry bonds).  usually the 3,4, and 5 hitters are the big rbi guys on the team.  the 6 hitter is a drop off in average, but he usually has the ability to knock it out (maybe troy glaus or geoff jenkins).  the seven and eight hitters are typically low average, no speed types (no names here!).  sometimes the number 9 hitter is someone like the angels' adam kennedy... early in his career he was placed there and had some success because he could hit for average, and had some speed.  in theory, the 9 guy will be on base when the leadoff man is up, and the cycle begins again.\n\nthe trick for the manager is finding which of his players thrive in which roles... sometimes the answers aren't so obvious as you might think.  tony la russa... the best there is at doing this.  also mike scioscia and bobby cox.

The plate appearance counts but the base doesn't.  the play counts the same as if the fielder did not committ the error.  So if a hitter reaches base via error, their OB% will go down.

Batting Average Against.....a pitchers stat.\n\nMeans if a pitcher has a .220 BAA....all hitters he faces is hitting .220 against him.  .220 is pretty darn good.  \n\nMake sense?

walks + hits per innings pitched.\n\nAd walks and hits, then divide by innings pitched.

It's based on scoring shorthand ... before we ubergeeks sat at laptops ... people would get a scorecard and actually have a shorthand system that they could follow every pitch of every game.\n\nYou're right one is the pitcher ... two is then the catcher ... three is first base ... and so on across the position players. From your short hand, 4-6-3 would be a ball hit directly to the second baseman who threw it to the shortstop covering second and then the shortstop threw it over to the first baseman for a double play.  \n\nI attached a link to a website that tells you how to actually score a game. If you want to watch every moment and see the game unfold, this is one of the best ways to do it.

this is easy enough, these people are making it more difficult than it really is.\n\nIm not sure if your just talking about Earned Runs, or the ERA, which is the earned run average... so i will describe both.\n\na run is "earned" when the run is scored without the assistance of a fielding error.  so all runs are earned unless the runner has reached base by error, or a runner was allowed to score by error.  \n\nNow Earned Run Average (ERA) is figured out by dividing the amount of earned runs by the amount of innings pitched, then multiplying by 9 innings.  For Example...\n\nIf a starting pitcher pitches 5 innings, allowing 1 run... you take (1/5) and that equals 0.2.  Then you take 0.2 x 9 innings and get an era of 1.80 ERA.  \n\nHope that helped!
