Batting Average Calculator

Batting average from hits and at-bats, the way scorekeepers figure it.

How it's calculated

Batting average = hits ÷ at-bats. Walks, hit-by-pitches, sacrifice bunts and sacrifice flies are not at-bats, so they don't count either way. It's written without the leading zero: .300.

Example

150 hits in 500 at-bats is 0.300, written .300.
