Enter a player's hits and at-bats to get their batting average instantly. No sign-up needed.
Batting average (AVG) = hits ÷ at-bats. A player with 12 hits in 40 at-bats hits 12 ÷ 40 = .300, spoken as "three hundred." It measures how often a player gets a hit per official at-bat.
For context, .300 is an excellent Major League season and the MLB average sits around .245–.250. For youth players, the single number matters far less than the trend across a season — a .180 that climbs to .280 is a player who's improving. Read more in what's a good batting average by age.
Divide hits by at-bats. 12 hits in 40 at-bats = 12 ÷ 40 = .300.
No. Walks are not at-bats, so they neither help nor hurt batting average — but they do count toward on-base percentage.
It varies by age and level. Focus on the season-long trend rather than a single benchmark; a rising average over months is the signal that matters.
