A player's slugging percentage provides a more comprehensive measure of their power hitting ability compared to their batting average. While batting average only considers the player's ability to get hits, slugging percentage takes into account the player's ability to hit for extra bases, such as doubles, triples, and home runs. Therefore, slugging percentage is a better indicator of a player's overall offensive performance in Baseball.

Slugging percentage is calculated by dividing the total number of bases a player has earned by the total number of at-bats. It indicates a player's power and ability to hit for extra bases. A higher slugging percentage suggests that a player is more likely to hit for extra bases, such as doubles, triples, and home runs, making them a more valuable offensive player in baseball.
If you're talking about other offensive baseball stats, I would include At-Bats (AB), Hits (H), Walks (BB), On Base Percentage (OBP), and Slugging Percentage (SLG).
