Total bases is the sum of the player's number of doubles times 2, plus the player's number of triples times 3, plus the player's number of home runs time 4, plus the player's number of singles. Example: A player, for a season, has 40 singles, 20 doubles, 3 triples, and 11 home runs. You would calculate the number of total bases as 40 + (20 * 2) + (3 * 3) + (11 * 4) which works out to 40 + 40 + 9 + 44 or 133 total bases.
