Divide the number of base hits by the total number of at bats. If Craig Biggio has 600 at bats and has 206 hits his batting average would be .343 (206/600)
Multiply the total number of earned runs by nine, and divide the results by the total innings pitched. If Shane Reynolds has allowed 67 runs in 220 innings, multiply 67 by 9 (67x9=603) then divide 603 by 220 innings pitched (603/220=2.74) for an ERA of 2.74
Divide the number of games won by the total number of decisions. If Jose Lima has a 16-3 record,divide his total wins (16) by his total number of decisions (19) for a W-L Percentage of 0.842
Divide the total number of bases of all base hits by the total number of times at bat. If Jeff Bagwell has 282 total bases and 440 at-bats, divide 282 by 440 to get his slugging percentage of .641
Divide the total number of Hits plus Bases on Balls plus Hits by Pitch by the total number of At Bats plus Bases on Balls plus Hit by Pitch plus Sacrifice Flies. If Richard Hidalgo has 434 at-bats, 152 hits, 59 walks, has been hit by 9 pitches and has hit 6 sacrifice flies, his on-base average is (152+59+9) divided by (434+59+9+6) = 220/508 = .433
Divide the total number of putouts and assists by the total number of putouts, assists and errors. If Bill Speirs has 218 putouts and 290 assists, while committing only 2 errors, his fielding percentage is (218+290) divided by (218+290+2) = 508/510 = .996
Determine the number of games yet to be played, add one, then subtract the number of games ahead in the loss column of the standings from the closest opponent. If Houston has 50 games remaining (50+1=51) and are 7 games up on Cincinnati in the loss column (51-7=44), then the Astros' magic number to clinch the NL Central is 44.
