Frequently asked questions

Divide hits by at bats. 150 hits in 500 at bats is a .300 average, usually read as 'three hundred'.

At bats exclude walks, hit-by-pitches, sacrifices and certain other outcomes, so the average reflects hits per qualifying plate appearance.

A .300 average is considered very good in professional baseball, while .250 is around average and .200 is poor.

Baseball traditionally reports averages to three decimals, so .333 and .300 can be compared precisely across a long season.
