AVG
Batting average — hits divided by at-bats.
What AVG means
The traditional batting-average measure: hits ÷ at-bats. Doesn't reward walks or extra bases, so on its own it overrates slap hitters and underrates power.
How AVG is calculated
AVG = H / AB
What counts as a good AVG
Higher is better — roughly .220 is poor, .250 average, .280 good, and .310 or better elite.
