Slugging Percentage

From Conservapedia

Slugging percentage, abbreviated SLG, is a baseball statistic used to quantify a hitter's ability to get extra-base hits; i.e., a measure of his power. It is defined as total bases divided by at bats, and its formula is

$\text{[math]}$

where

1B is the number is singles
2B is the number of doubles
3B is the number of triples
HR is the number of Home Runs

Sabermetricians realized that SLG can be combined with On-base percentage to generate On-base plus slugging, a very good indicator of offensive player performance.
