How do you calculate slugging percentage in Baseball?
547129
It, like the whole game of baseball, is sort of complicated math, or at least a lot of it ;-). To get slugging percentage you divide the total number of bases, of all their base hits, by the total number of times they were at bat. Just FYI the abbreviation is SLG. :-)

SLG = (s + 2d + 3t + 4hr) / (n_{AB}). In other words, Slugging Percentage is total bases divided by at-bats.

You take a pitcher's earned run, you divide it by the number of innigs he played and you multply it by 9 (a complete game).\n\nThe smaller the ERA is, the better the pitcher is.

Cell Name      Entry\nA1 =           Number Hits\nB1 =           Number of Times At Bat\nA2 =           A1/B1 = batting average.  \n\nIf you want it to be in batting average form you should right click on A2 and choose "Format Cells".  Once inside that menu, click number and then put a 3 in the decimal places box.  Enjoy!

I think you meant OPS - if so it is On Base % plus Slugging %

OPS -On Base Percentage plus Slugging Percentage-  \n\nI am assuming you mean the batter and not the pitcher.

Different kinds of statistics: the pitcher gets credit for the out as a pitching statistic; the fielder(s) get credit for it as a defensive statistic.  In the former case, the pitcher gets credit for not allowing the batter to get a clean hit; in the latter, the fielder gets credit for defensive work.\n\nThink of it in the same way as runs and RBI's: if Player A is on 3rd base and scores on Player B's hit, both of them get "credit" for the run: A gets credit for a run and B for an RBI.  Same event, different stats.

here i found this game online which bases it on the time it takes a 90 mph fastball to get to the plate\n\nhttp://www.exploratorium.edu/baseball/reactiontime.html

The correct answer is 68%. Good luck on the game!

If you need to work this out the long way in order to understand it, the best thing to do would be to cross multiply.  A percentage is always out of 100...so, figure out the total number of games first:\n\n22+10=32, So, they have won 22/32 games--now is where you cross multiply to figure that out as a percentage:\n\n22/32=?/100\n\nTo find out the ? you multiply the top number from one set (in this case, the 22 from 22/32) by the bottom number in the other set (?/100) and then divide it by the remaining number.\n\nSo, (22*100) / 32 \n= 2200/32\n=68.75\n\nDo the same for the second question:\n\n26 + 8 = 34\n\n26/34 = ?/100\n(26*100) /34\n=2600 / 34\n=76.47\n\nI know that's a lot more information than the people who have just given you the answer, but I want to help you understand how to do it yourself so that you know what you're doing on a test.\n\nI hope you understand how I worked it out.

its stat accumulation basically. Depends on the settings of your league...or which style roto or h2h. so if u have a 5x5 league... the catagories are hits,runs,home runs,stolen bases and batting average offensively. Its wins, saves, K's era and whip for pitchers. so offensively you want the most hits,runs etc and pitching you want most wins saves k's but lowest era and whip.

Depending on the side of the ball you come from... Based on the way things are going?  Payroll  Because you can buy a great team and build a winning tradition.  The team may not win the World Series every year but they will always be in contention.\n\nIf you want real stats from a analitical point on players:\n\nTraditionally, statistics like batting average for batters (the number of hits divided by the number of at bats) and earned run average (approximately the number of runs given up by a pitcher per nine innings) have governed the statistical world of baseball. However, the advent of sabermetrics brought an onslaught of new statistics that better gauge a player's performance and contributions to his team from year to year.\n\nSome sabermetric statistics have entered the mainstream baseball world. Among statistics that do an excellent job of measuring a batter's performance, On-base plus slugging (OPS) is the easiest to calculate. It adds the hitter's on base percentage ([hits + walks + number of times hit by pitches] divided by [number of times at bat + walks + number of times hit by a pitch + number of sacrifice flies]) to his or her slugging percentage (total bases divided by at bats). Some argue that the OPS formula is flawed and that more weight should be shifted towards OBP (on base percentage). Regardless, OPS still stands as the most direct means of evaluating a hitter's performance using readily available statistics.

From the Major League Baseball Rule Book:\n\nPUTOUTS \n10.10:\n\n.....(a) Automatic putouts shall be credited to the catcher as follows: ......(3) When the batter is called out for being touched by his own batted ball; ....\n\n\nTherefore, on the scorecard it would be written as: "2-U"\n\nmeaning: 2 (catcher's scoring positional number)-\n         U(nassisted put-out)

this is easy enough, these people are making it more difficult than it really is.\n\nIm not sure if your just talking about Earned Runs, or the ERA, which is the earned run average... so i will describe both.\n\na run is "earned" when the run is scored without the assistance of a fielding error.  so all runs are earned unless the runner has reached base by error, or a runner was allowed to score by error.  \n\nNow Earned Run Average (ERA) is figured out by dividing the amount of earned runs by the amount of innings pitched, then multiplying by 9 innings.  For Example...\n\nIf a starting pitcher pitches 5 innings, allowing 1 run... you take (1/5) and that equals 0.2.  Then you take 0.2 x 9 innings and get an era of 1.80 ERA.  \n\nHope that helped!

ERA = Earned Run Average = \n\n\nNumber of Innings Pitched / Number of EARNED runs given up\n\nSince he is still currently pitching in the game, his ERA is still active and you can't really compute it until he's done.\n\nYou also have to remember that pitchers do not pitch in whole inning increments, they pitch in 1/3 inning increments.  So if he pitches 5 innings and gets 2 outs in the 6th before getting relieved, and gives up 3 earned runs in the process, ERA = 5 2/3 divided by 3.
