Slugging percentage
(Redirected from Slugging average)
In baseball statistics, slugging percentage (SLG) is a measure of the power of a hitter. It is calculated as total bases divided by at bats. Total bases can be calculated from commonly used baseball statistics by using the formula TB = 1B + (2*2B) + (3*3B) + (4*HR).
Slugging percentage forms on-base plus slugging when added to on base percentage.
SLG = [1B + (2*2B) + (3*3B) + (4*HR)]/(# of at bats)
