How the Batting Average Calculator Works

A batting average is hits divided by at-bats, written as a three-decimal number without the leading zero — 50 hits in 150 at-bats is .333, read as “three thirty-three.” It measures how often a batter gets a hit.

A .300 average is the traditional mark of an excellent hitter; .250 is roughly average, and below .200 (the “Mendoza line”) is weak. Walks and sacrifices don’t count as at-bats, so they don’t lower the average.

batting average = hits ÷ at-bats

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate batting average?

Divide hits by at-bats. 50 hits in 150 at-bats is .333.

What is a good batting average?

.300 is excellent, .250 is about average, and under .200 is poor.

Do walks count as at-bats?

No — walks, hit-by-pitches and sacrifices aren’t at-bats, so they don’t affect the average.
