It is calculated with the formula (Hits + Walks + Hit by Pitch) / (At Bats + Walks + Hit by Pitch + Sacrifice Flies). In 2011, Curtis Granderson had 583 at bats, 153 hits, 85 walks, and was hit by the pitch 12 times. He had 7 sacrifice flies. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .364. Slugging Percentage (SLG) is a popular measure of a batter's power. It is calculated as (Total Bases) / (At Bats). Another way to look at it is (Singles + 2 x Doubles + 3 x Triples + 4 x Home Runs) / (At Bats). In 2011, Curtis Granderson had 583 at bats, and hit 76 singles, 26 doubles, 10 triples, and 41 home runs, for a .552 slugging percentage. Being able to get on base and to hit for power are two of the most important offensive skills in baseball, so the On Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage are often added together.

In 2011, Curtis Granderson had a .364 On Base Percentage and a .552 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .916.
