Slugging Percentage Calculator
Slugging percentage measures power. It counts total bases, so a double is worth more than a single, a triple more than a double, and a home run the most.

How it works
Total bases are singles, plus twice the doubles, plus three times the triples, plus four times the home runs. Divide the total by at bats.
Walks are left out, because slugging is about how far the hits go. The answer is shown to three places, like a batting average.
Worked example
With 90 singles, 30 doubles, 3 triples and 20 home runs in 480 at bats, the batter has 239 total bases and a slugging percentage of 0.498.
Questions
Can slugging go above 1?
Yes. A batter who averages more than one total base per at bat, which takes many extra-base hits, scores above 1.
Why do walks not count?
Slugging measures how far hits travel. For walks, look at on-base percentage.
How is it different from on-base plus slugging?
On-base plus slugging adds the two figures together, so one number covers both reaching base and power.
