SLG

SLG is slugging percentage and is used to measure if a hitter is whether focusing on contact or power. The equation for SLG is (1 x number of a base hit) + (2 x number of two base hit) + (3 x number of three base hit) + (4 x number of home-run) all added divided by total number of at bat. For example, in total of 20 bats, you hit three of single base hits, two of two base hits, 1 of three base hit, and 1 home-run, the equation would be (3 + 6 + 3 + 4) / 20. Therefore, SLG would be .800.
The highest possible SLG is 4.000. However, it is almost impossible to have because, in order to have 4.000 SLG, you have to hit home-runs every time at bat.
