When figuring or calculating batting average of a baseball player, just use the following formula: Batting average = (Number of hits)/(Number of official at bats) As you can see, the batting average is just a ratio of the number of times the player hit the ball to at bats.

When computing this average, we usually round decimal answers to three places. Example #1: A player hits safely 34 times.
