'''Batting average''' (abbreviated '''BA''') is a [[baseball]] [[statistic]] that tracks how often a batter gets a hit. Its formula is
<math>BA = \frac{H}{AB}</math>
where
*''H'' is Hits
*''AB'' is At bats
Although batting average is a traditionally popular statistic, modern [[sabermetrics|sabermetricians]] prefer other metrics, such as [[on-base percentage]].
