About this calculator
Formula notes
baseball average = hits / official at-bats; cricket batting average = runs / times out. Baseball notation displays three decimal places without the leading zero.
Worked examples
- Example: 50 baseball hits in 200 official at-bats gives 0.250, displayed in baseball notation as .250.
- A cricket batter scoring 450 runs while dismissed 9 times has a batting average of 50 runs per dismissal.
How to use it
- Choose baseball or cricket.
- Enter hits or runs and the matching opportunity count.
- Read the decimal result using the convention for that sport.
Frequently asked questions
Are walks included in baseball at-bats?
Use official at-bats from the score record; plate appearances such as walks are not normally counted as at-bats.
Why does cricket use times out?
Cricket batting average divides total runs by dismissals, not by innings or balls faced.
Limits and interpretation
- Baseball official at-bats and cricket dismissals follow sport-specific scoring rules; use official statistics rather than substituting all appearances or innings.
- A batting average summarizes past outcomes but does not adjust for opponents, venue, era, sample size, scoring conditions, or future performance.
