Slugging percentage
From Conservapedia
Slugging percentage, abbreviated SLG, is a baseball statistic used to quantify a hitter's ability to get extra-base hits; i.e., a measure of his power. It is defined as total bases divided by at bats, and its formula is
where
- 1B is the number is singles
- 2B is the number of doubles
- 3B is the number of triples
- HR is the number of Home Runs
Sabermetricians realized that SLG can be combined with On-base percentage to generate On-base plus slugging, a very good indicator of offensive player performance.
