On Base Percentage (OBP) is considered by many to be a better measure of a great hitter than the Batting Average.

Slugging Percentage (SLG) is a popular measure of a batter's power. It is calculated as (Total Bases) / (At Bats).

In 1961, Don Larsen had 45 at bats, and hit 12 singles, 0 doubles, 0 triples, and 2 home runs, for a .444 slugging percentage.
