How do you figure out slugging percentage?

Answer by  nuttree (1596)

The slugging percentage is calculated as a player's total number of bases divided his total of at-bats. So a single would count as one base (just as it would in a conventional batting average) but a double counts as two, a triple as three, and a home run as four.

Slugging percentage is determined in a very unique way, different than determining batting average or earned run average. Slugging percentage is found by total bases(single,double,triple,or home run), divided by the total number of at bats a player has or had. Slugging percentage does not include the number of walks a player has or had during the saeson.
