How Slugging Percentage Is Calculated

Slugging percentage measures a batter's overall power by determining the number of bases earned per at-bat. Unlike batting average, this metric values extra-base hits more than singles, offering a clearer picture of a player's ability to generate runs. We use the official MLB formula to ensure your results are accurate and reliable for analysis.

SLG = (1B + 2x2B + 3x3B + 4xHR) ÷ AB

Where:

  • 1B = Singles
  • 2B = Doubles
  • 3B = Triples
  • HR = Home Runs
  • AB = At Bats

First, multiply each type of hit by its respective base value to find the total bases. Then, divide the total bases by the player's total number of at-bats to get the final percentage.

What Your Slugging Percentage Means

Your result represents the average number of bases a player generates for every at-bat, serving as a key indicator of power performance.

Excellent Power (.600+)

The player is an elite slugger, likely among the league leaders in home runs and extra-base hits. This level of performance is rare and indicates a major offensive weapon for a team.

Above Average (.500-.599)

This shows strong power production. The player is a reliable run producer who consistently contributes extra-base hits, making them a valuable asset in most lineups.

Average (.400-.499)

The player displays moderate power, typical of league standards. While not a major threat for home runs, they contribute enough offense to be a viable everyday player.

Important: Remember that ballpark factors can inflate or suppress these numbers. A smaller ballpark often leads to higher slugging percentages compared to larger venues.
