Calculation notes

Batting average is hits divided by official at-bats. This tool can use direct AB/H input or derive AB from plate appearances by removing walks, HBP, sacrifice flies, sacrifice bunts, and catcher interference.

  • AVG = hits / at-bats.
  • Derived AB = PA - BB - HBP - SF - SH - CI.
  • Hits needed = ceiling(target AVG x (current AB + future AB) - current hits).
