It is calculated with the formula (Hits + Walks + Hit by Pitch) / (At Bats + Walks + Hit by Pitch + Sacrifice Flies). In 2008, Johnny Damon had 555 at bats, 168 hits, 64 walks, and was hit by the pitch 1 time. He had 1 sacrifice fly. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .375. 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 2008, Johnny Damon had 555 at bats, and hit 119 singles, 27 doubles, 5 triples, and 17 home runs, for a .461 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. On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic. The best hitters in Major League Baseball can achieve an OPS of .900 or higher. In 2008, Johnny Damon had a .375 On Base Percentage and a .461 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .836. Runs Created (RC) is a baseball statistic invented by Bill James to estimate the number of runs a hitter contributes to his team. There are a number of formulas used to calculate it. One of the simplest is (On Base Percentage) × (Total Bases). In 2008, Johnny Damon had a .375 On Base Percentage and 256 Total Bases for 96.05 Runs Created.
