Slugging Percentage vs Singles

How Slugging Percentage Is Calculated

Formula

SLG = Total Bases / At Bats

Where Total Bases = Singles + (2 x Doubles) + (3 x Triples) + (4 x Home Runs)

Slugging measures power by weighting extra-base hits more heavily.

  • Example Calculation

    50 singles, 15 doubles, 2 triples, 10 home runs in 250 at-bats.

    1. 01Total bases = 50 + 15*2 + 2*3 + 10*4 = 50 + 30 + 6 + 40 = 126
    2. 02SLG = 126 / 250 = 0.504
    3. 03Total hits = 50 + 15 + 2 + 10 = 77
