how to calculate a batting average
We will start with the simple and then move to the complicated. Batting averages look weird â they usually range from around .200 to .375 but donât be fooled, itâs just a percentage expressed with one decimal point. So, the odd looking .200 is 20.0% and .375 is 37.5%. But! Things get more complicated when we start reasoning about what exactly the batting average percentage is made up of. Batting average = the number of hits / the number of at bats.
