About the Batting Average Calculator
Choose cricket or baseball and enter the player's figures. The calculator gives the batting average and, for baseball, on-base percentage, slugging and OPS; for cricket, the strike rate.
In cricket, batting average is runs divided by the number of times out (not-outs don't count as dismissals); strike rate is runs per 100 balls. In baseball, batting average is hits ÷ at-bats; on-base percentage adds walks and hit-by-pitches; slugging is total bases ÷ at-bats; OPS adds OBP and SLG.
The formula
Cricket avg = runs ÷ dismissals; baseball AVG = H ÷ AB; OBP = (H + BB + HBP) ÷ (AB + BB + HBP + SF)
Worked example
Baseball: 150 hits in 500 at-bats, 60 walks, 5 sacrifice flies, 240 total bases
- Average: 150 ÷ 500 = .300
- OBP: 210 ÷ 565 = .372; slugging .480
- OPS .852
