  1. Calculating Baseball Stats A) Stats for Offense (Hitters) Batting Average (BA) Slugging Percentage (SLG) B) Stats for Pitchers Earned Run Average (ERA) Walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP) Stats for Defense (Fielders) Fielding Percentage (FP)

  2. 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."

  3. 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 Hits = 0.30149 round to 0.301 670 at bats

  4. Slugging Percentage (Hitting) • Sluggingpercentage(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):

  5. 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) = 0.40798 round to 0.408 451 At Bats

  6. Earned Run Average (Pitching) • Earnedrun average (ERA) is the mean of earned runs given up by a pitcher per nine innings pitched. It is determined by dividing the number of earned runs allowed by the number of innings pitched and multiplying by nine.

  7. Earned Run Average • Calculate Doug Fister’s Earned Run Average. If Doug pitched 630 innings, and has given up 269 runs, what is his earned run average (Write the answer to the nearest thousandth)? (269) Earned Runs 9 x = 3.842857 Round to 3.843 630 Innings Pitched

  8. 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).

  9. 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 = 1.271028 round to 1.271 107 Innings Pitched

  10. Fielding Average (Defense) • Fielding average is a measure that reflects the percentage of times a defensive player properly handles a batted or thrown ball. It is calculated by the sum of putouts (PO) and assists (A) divided by the number of total chances (putouts (PO) + assists (A) + errors(E)).

  11. Fielding Average • 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 = 0.962962 Round to 0.962 119 Put Outs + 37 Assists + 6 Errors
