Batting Average Calculator
Free batting average calculator for baseball and softball: enter hits and at-bats and get the average the way a box score writes it.
How it works
Batting average is hits divided by at-bats: AVG = H ÷ AB. Walks, hit by pitch and sacrifice flies are not at-bats, so leave them out. A player with 10 hits in 30 at-bats is batting 10 ÷ 30 = .333. The result is written to three decimals with no leading zero, the way a box score does.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is batting average calculated?
Divide hits by at-bats. 10 hits in 30 at-bats is 10 ÷ 30 = .333, said "three thirty-three".
Do walks count as at-bats?
No. Walks, hit by pitch, sacrifice bunts and sacrifice flies are plate appearances but not at-bats, so they do not change batting average. They do count in on-base percentage.
Is batting average figured differently in softball?
No. Hits divided by at-bats is the same in baseball and softball, at every age.
What is a good batting average?
In the major leagues .300 is excellent and .250 is about average. Youth and high school averages run higher because of the competition, so compare a player with their own league.
What if a player has no at-bats?
Batting average is undefined, so the calculator shows a dash until you enter at least one at-bat.
