	Slugging average - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In baseball statistics, slugging average (often abbreviated SLG or SA) is a measure of the power of a hitter.
		The term slugging percentage is a misnomer, as it is actually a calculation of average, not percent.
		Long after it was first invented, the slugging average gained new significance when baseball analysts realized that it combined with on-base percentage to form a very good measure of a player's overall production.

		The average of a batter with 23 hits in six games would be not 3.83 but 35 (an average of 3 with an overage, or remainder, of 5); borrowed from cricket.
		That average is defined as a team record of.500 because a league won-lost average must be.500, or as an individual record of zero because the value of the out for a given year is calculated to establish a baseline of zero.
		The positional adjustment, or factor for average defensive skill, for a left fielder who played in all 162 games would be 162 X 198/3,202 (which calculates to 10), where 3,202 is the number of games played in both leagues by all left fielders (or any other position, obviously).

	Where Have All the Sluggers Gone?
		Slugging average is an interesting statistic that is calculated by multiplying a batter’s home runs by four, triples by three, doubles by two, singles by one, adding them together and then dividing that sum by the batter’s official plate appearances.
		Achieving a.600 lifetime slugging average is one of the rarest of all accomplishments.
		It is significant that the last player to retire with a.600 slugging average, Ted Williams, retired forty four years ago but in the last seven years, both Todd Helton and Barry Bonds have achieved better than.600 lifetime slugging averages.

		He is the career slugging average leader, and his batting average is much higher than Bonds'.
		Slugging average is a measurement of the average number of bases a player gets for every at bat.
		Barry Bonds is slugging an unheard of 1.342, which means the opposing pitcher would be better off walking him and giving him only 1 base than allowing him to hit for his average which is greater than one.

		In other words, a slugging average of.800 is rarer than a batting average of.400.
		As far as batting averages are concerned, a bunt single and a tape-measure home-run are the same.
		Just as batting averages count hits in proportion to your times at bat, slugging averages count your total bases in proportion to your times at bat.

		The two lines would match in batting and slugging average if four singles, a double, and a homer (and the six hits) were moved from the "Protected" to the "Unprotected" line.
		The batting and slugging averages would match if seven singles were moved to the "Unprotected" line, and a homer moved the other way.
		Only one individual split in slugging average, none in batting average, and three in walks are more than two standard deviations from even, which is about what you would expect if there were no effect, or if the individual effects were too small to measure.

		On base average rises slowly, only 3.4% from the first to fourth time at bat, while batting average and slugging average go up much more rapidly, 6.6% and 7.9% respectively.
		In fact there are some noticeable decreases in batting average and on base average between at bats one and two for the catchers.
		Slugging average shows the overall increase we have seen all along, but to a lesser degree.

		Slugging averages tell you more than either batting averages or home run totals.
		That slugging average for a whole season is rarer than a batting average of.300.
		While Bonds' incredible performance gave new prominence to slugging averages, Ruth's lifetime dominance in that statistic makes clear that the Babe was still the greatest all-around slugger of them all, regardless of how many home runs others have hit.

		Pure slugging results in a batch of one run homers, while pure on base play leads to a glut of runners left in scoring position.
		Most tellingly, the number of runs a team actually scores is closely related to the sum of individual contributions as predicted by the player on-base and slugging averages; there seems to be very little value-added for the "team effect".
		He is extremely typical in his ratio of on base to slugging percentage; his numbers are both double the league average.

		The definition of slugging average is the total number of bases reached divided by the official number of times at bat.
		Your program should prompt the user for the number of players whose slugging average is to be computed.
		In addition to the output required in [1] above, you should provide the following team statistics: (a) the maximum and minimum slugging averages and the initials of the corresponding players, and (b) the team's mean slugging average.

		I then calculated batting average, slugging percentage, on base percentage, and OPS (on base plus slugging) and ran a quick regression using Excel.
		The larger amount of luck in the accumulation of singles means larger variation in batting average as opposed to slugging percentage and thus the likelihood of less correlation from year to year for a specific batter.
		Although Albert did not look at slugging percentage specifically, he did show that strikeout, walk, homerun, on base percentage, and in-play average (batting average on balls put in play) are all more strongly correlated from year to year.

		The league average for hitting in any given year is set at a constant of 100, so a player with an OPS+ of 200 is twice as productive as the league average, while a player posting an OPS+ of 50 is performing at only half the norm.
		Rarely was Ruth not at the top of the pile in on-base and slugging percentage, and, not surprisingly, over the course of his career, he led the league in OPS+ 13 times, with 11 of those years surpassing 200.
		Brouthers slugged over.500 11 times during his 19 seasons (he made a brief comeback in 1904 when he played two games with the New York Giants), often topping the league average by 200 points.

	Cyberslugger Trivia The Ultimate Baseball Trivia Game!! - Baseball Statistics
		This is an advanced statistic which requires the complete understanding of on base percentage, slugging average and a park adjustment factor.
		This statistic uses a league normalized earned run average in the calculation and is meant to measure how well the pitcher prevented runs from scoring relative to the rest of the league.
		The Defensive Average statistics is nice because it is analogous to a fielder's Batting Average Against in that it specifically measures times reached per opportunity.

		Equivalent Average -- Invented by Clay Davenport, and published in the Baseball Prospectus, EqA combines an alternate system to MLE for translating minor league performance with a normalizing step that converts translated performance to a single number on the same scale as batting average.
		DA is analagous to a fielder's "batting average against" in that it measures times reached base (by hit or error) per opportunity (ball hit into his zone).
		When adjusting a player's statistics, the Park Factor is usually halved, reflecting the fact that only half of the average player's games are played at home, while the rest are in the other league parks (usually assumed to be league average when all road games are aggregated).

		Fielder was less effective after 1991, topping a.500 slugging average only once, in the strike shortened 1994 season, but he remained a serious power threat and one of the league's more exciting home run hitters through mid-1996, when he was traded to New York for pitching prospect Matt Drews.
		Their slugging averages are remarkably similar, and they walked about the same amount, York just a bit more.

		The data reveal that, of the old-timers, Babe Ruth dominated the categories of slugging average and runs scored, runs batted in, and home runs (per 100 times at bat).
		Notably, the average numbers of at bats and home runs of recent inductees are significantly higher than the corresponding numbers of the old-timers.
		Yet, when the higher totals are adjusted for the larger number of plate appearances, those players inducted since 1980 have significantly lower batting averages, lower slugging percentages, and, on average, fewer runs scored and runs batted in per 100 times at bat.
