Frequently asked questions
What's a good slugging percentage?
.500+ is excellent — a power hitter's benchmark. .450 is above average; .400 is league average. Home run hitters can post .550+ in strong seasons.
What's the difference between BA and SLG?
Batting average treats all hits equally; slugging weights them by extra bases. A player who hits many home runs has a much higher SLG than BA. SLG better reflects offensive power.
