Formula. The batting average is calculated in the following way: Batting Average = Total number of hits / Total number of at bats. For example, if a player has 200 at-bats, and has 70 hits, then his Batting Average is 70 / 200 = 0.350.
Ty Cobb retains the title of player with the all-time highest career batting average, .366. Make the Calculation. Fortunately for rabid baseball fans everywhere, calculating a player's batting average doesn't take advance math. Just divide the number of base hits the player gets by the number of times he's been at bat. For example, if a player has been at bat 520 times and has gotten 179 hits, his batting average is 179/520, or .344. Walks do not count as an at-bat, and neither do sacrifice flies or bunts or getting hit by a pitch.
