SLG
Slugging percentage — total bases per at-bat. Measures power output.
What SLG means
Slugging percentage weights each hit by the number of bases — a HR is worth four slug points and a single is worth one. Captures power but ignores walks.
How SLG is calculated
SLG = TB / AB
What counts as a good SLG
Higher is better — roughly .380 is poor, .420 average, .470 good, and .520 or better elite.
