How do you calculate batting percentage in softball?

Answer 1

On base percentage

In Baseball statistics, on base percentage (OBP) is a measure of how often a batter gets to first base for any reason other than a fielding error or a fielder's choice. It may be calculated as:

(H + BB + HBP) / (AB + BB + HBP + SF) OBP is sometimes referred to as "on base average" or OBA.

It is possible for a player's on base percentage to be lower than his batting average (H/AB). If a player had 2 hits and 5 at bats with a sacrifice fly, his batting average would be .400 but his on base percentage would be .333.

Answer 2

To calculate batting average you need to find out how many at bats the player had. This is plate appearances minus walks minus hit by pitches much sacrifice bunts and flys. Then you need to find out how many of those at bats resulted in hits. Take the number of hits and divide it by the number of at bats. This will give you batting average.

the percentage that you reach base
