Frequently Asked Questions

In professional baseball, .300 or above is typically considered excellent, .250 to .299 is considered average, and below .250 is considered below average. These standards can vary by competition level, era, and environment.

Baseball traditionally displays batting averages with three decimal places (like .275 instead of 0.275). This convention stems from baseball's statistical history and makes the figures easier to read and compare.

Batting average only considers hits relative to at-bats, while slugging percentage accounts for the quality of hits (doubles, triangles, home runs) by calculating total bases divided by at-bats. Slugging percentage better reflects a hitter's power.

Ty Cobb holds the record for the highest career batting average in MLB history at .366, a record that has stood for over a century.
