How Batting Average Works
Batting average is hits divided by at-bats, shown to three decimals. A hitter with 50 hits in 170 at-bats is batting .294. Walks, hit-by-pitches, and sacrifices do not count as at-bats, so they do not lower the average.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you calculate batting average?
Divide a hitter’s total hits by their total at-bats. For example, 50 hits in 170 at-bats is .294.
Do walks count in batting average?
No. A walk is not an at-bat, so it does not count as either a hit or an at-bat and has no direct effect on batting average.
What is a good batting average?
In modern baseball, .300 is considered an excellent batting average over a full season, and .250 is around the league average.
