Batting Average

The batting average is a statistical measure in baseball that combines a player’s hits and the number of times they have been at bat. It is calculated by dividing the number of hits by the number of times at bat, and is expressed as a decimal number.

For example, if a player has 20 hits and 50 times at bat, their batting average is .400.

The batting average is a key statistic used to measure a player’s hitting ability. It is a good indicator of a player’s ability to get on base and drive in runs.
