Calculate your batting average by entering at-bats and hits
Learn how to use the Baseball Batting Average Calculator and understand its working principles
Batting average (BA) is a measure of a batter's performance. It represents the percentage of at-bats that result in a hit. The formula is:
BA = Hits ÷ At Bats
A higher batting average indicates better performance. In Major League Baseball, a .300 batting average is generally considered good, while .400 is exceptionally rare and impressive.
If a player has 300 at-bats and gets 100 hits, their batting average would be:
BA = 100 ÷ 300 = 0.333
This means the player gets a hit 33.3% of the time they are at bat.
