It is calculated with the formula (Hits + Walks + Hit by Pitch) / (At Bats + Walks + Hit by Pitch + Sacrifice Flies). In 1939, Vince DiMaggio had 14 at bats, 1 hit, 2 walks, and was hit by the pitch 0 times. Sacrifice flies weren't counted before 1954. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .188. 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 1939, Vince DiMaggio had 14 at bats, and hit 0 singles, 1 double, 0 triples, and 0 home runs, for a .143 slugging percentage.

In 1939, Vince DiMaggio had a .188 On Base Percentage and a .143 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .330. 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. One of the simplest is (On Base Percentage) × (Total Bases). In 1939, Vince DiMaggio had a .188 On Base Percentage and 2 Total Bases for .38 Runs Created.
