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 1961, Jim Gentile had 486 at bats, and hit 74 singles, 25 doubles, 2 triples, and 46 home runs, for a .646 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 1961, Jim Gentile had a .423 On Base Percentage and a .646 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of 1.069. 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.
