How does a player's slugging percentage compare to their batting average in terms of measuring their overall offensive performance in baseball?
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.

How do you calculate slugging percentage and what does it indicate about a player's 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.
