Number of hits divided by the official at bats. An error or fielder's choice counts against a batting average as an at bat, but it does not count as a hit. A sacrifice or walk does not count against a batter's at bat totals. These are plate appearances which are different. So, a batter could have 140 plate appearances, 100 at bats, and 30 hits. You would divide 30 by 100, which would give you a batting average of .300.

Divide the total at bats by total bases advanced. 100 AB div. by 20 singles(1)=20, 7 walks(1)=7, 3 Sac.=3, 4 doubles(2)=8, 1 triple (3)=3, 5HR (4)=20 61 total bases

--------------------

100 times at plate = 0.61

Think this is right.
