Steps:   1. Add up your hits. Enter Hits:   2. Add up your at bats. At bats include every time you hit safely or hit into an out, including a strike out. Getting on base by an error or fielder's choice is considered an out. A Sacrifice, walk or hit by pitch is not counted as a hit or an out. Enter Bats:   3. Divide your hits by your at bats. Press submit to calculate above values.   4. Round off the number to the third decimal place. For example, .33051 is .331.     Tips:   A walk or a hit by pitch will not hurt your batting average but will increase your on-base percentage.   If you hit safely but are out trying to get an extra base on the same play, it is still considered a hit.     Warnings:   Batting average is not as important for a leadoff hitter as on-base percentage is.
