What is Batting Average?
Batting Average = Hits / At-Bats
Batting average (BA) is one of the most basic stats in baseball. It is simply the number of hits divided by the total number of at-bats. Walks and hit by pitches do not count as at-bats.
The Major League Baseball record for batting average in a single season was set in 1901. Nap Lajoie had 544 at-bats and 232 hits for a batting average of 0.426.
