How it works
Enter the batting line. Hits are the sum of singles, doubles, triples and home runs.
Inputs explained
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Singles | A number |
| Doubles | A number |
| Triples | A number |
| Home runs | A number |
| Walks | A number |
| Hit by pitch | A number |
| At-bats | A number |
| Sacrifice flies | A number |
What each result means
- Hits = [Singles] + [Doubles] + [Triples] + [Home runs]
- Total bases = [Singles] + 2×[Doubles] + 3×[Triples] + 4×[Home runs]
- Batting average = [Hits]÷[At-bats]
- On-base percentage = ([Hits] + [Walks] + [Hit by pitch])÷([At-bats] + [Walks] + [Hit by pitch] + [Sacrifice flies])
- Slugging percentage = [Total bases]÷[At-bats]
- OPS = [On-base percentage] + [Slugging percentage]
Example values
How the main result changes when Singles changes and everything else stays at the example values above:
| Singles | OPS |
|---|---|
| 50 | 0.677 |
| 75 | 0.763 |
| 100 | 0.849 |
| 125 | 0.935 |
| 150 | 1.02 |
| 200 | 1.192 |
Formula
TB = 1B + 2·2B + 3·3B + 4·HR, SLG = TB ÷ AB, OBP = (H + BB + HBP) ÷ (AB + BB + HBP + SF), OPS = OBP + SLG
Worked example
Inputs — Singles: 100; Doubles: 30; Triples: 3; Home runs: 25; Walks: 60; Hit by pitch: 5; At-bats: 550; Sacrifice flies: 5.
