How do you calculate hitting percentage in baseball?

Answer 1

Hitting percentage is also called batting average. To calculate a player's batting average, divide the number of at bats into the number of base hits. For example, a batter has 400 at bats and 100 base hits. Dividing 400 into 100 gives a batting average of .250.

Answer 2

Divide number of hits by the number of at bats (at bats does not count walks+HBP+Catchers Inferference+Sacrifices).
divide the time at bat (AB) by hits (H). In symbols:

ave = AB/H

Note: one usually carries out to 3 places and omits the decimal point.

example : 18 hits in 50 times at bat.

batting average is 18/50 = .360 -- a 360 average -- very good.

Answer 3

Runs batted in is not an average. RBI is a tally of all the runs that a player scored by batting them in. The only averages are on base percentage, batting average, slugging percentage, and fielding percentage.

Answer 4

divide the number of hits you got by the number of at bats you had

Answer 5

You take the number of base hits and divide it by the number of at bats, then, you have the batting average! Example: 5 hits out of 11 at bats. 5 divided by 11 equals a .454 batting average.

Answer 6

Hits / At Bats

Answer 7

Hits divided by total at bats
