How it works
Divide hits by at bats. Walks, times hit by a pitch and sacrifices are not at bats, so they stay out of this figure.
The answer is shown to three places, such as .289, which is how most scorebooks and sports pages print it.
Worked example
With 52 hits in 180 at bats, the batting average is 0.289.
Questions
Why don't walks count?
Under the usual rules, a walk is not an at bat. For a figure that includes walks, look at on-base percentage.
Is a higher average always better?
A higher average means more hits for each at bat. It does not show power, walks or fielding, so it is one number among several.
How many at bats make it steady?
Early in a season the number swings a lot. It settles as the at bats add up, so compare players once they have had enough chances.
