📊 Understanding Slugging Percentage
Slugging Percentage (SLG) measures the power of a hitter by calculating the total number of bases per at bat. It’s a crucial statistic in baseball that shows how effectively a batter hits for power.
SLG = Total Bases / At Bats
Total Bases = (1×Singles) + (2×Doubles) + (3×Triples) + (4×Home Runs)
Total Bases = (1×Singles) + (2×Doubles) + (3×Triples) + (4×Home Runs)
🎯 Performance Levels
- Elite (.550+): Outstanding power hitter, among the best in baseball
- Excellent (.450-.549): Very good power, above-average hitter
- Good (.400-.449): Solid power, average major league level
- Below Average (.350-.399): Limited power, below major league average
- Poor (Below .350): Very limited power, needs improvement
⚾ Key Points
- Unlike batting average, slugging percentage weights hits by their value
- A perfect slugging percentage is 4.000 (all at-bats result in home runs)
- Combined with on-base percentage, it creates OPS (On-base Plus Slugging)
- Great for comparing power between different players and eras
