Batting Average Calculator
Divide hits by at-bats to get batting average — the oldest rate stat in the game. Enter season totals or a game-by-game log.
How it works
Batting average is simply hits divided by at-bats. At-bats exclude walks, hit-by-pitches, sacrifice bunts, and sacrifice flies — those plate appearances don't count against your average. The result is rounded to three decimal places.
Worked example
A hitter with 45 hits in 160 at-bats has a batting average of 45 ÷ 160 = .281.

|---|---|

| Above average | .280 |
| Average | .260 |
| Below average | .250 |
| Poor | .240 or lower |
