It is calculated with the formula (Hits + Walks + Hit by Pitch) / (At Bats + Walks + Hit by Pitch + Sacrifice Flies). In 2008, Josh Whitesell had 7 at bats, 2 hits, 1 walk, and was hit by the pitch 1 time. He had 0 sacrifice flies. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .444. Slugging Percentage (SLG) is a popular measure of a batter's power. It is calculated as (Total Bases) / (At Bats). Another way to look at it is (Singles + 2 x Doubles + 3 x Triples + 4 x Home Runs) / (At Bats). In 2008, Josh Whitesell had 7 at bats, and hit 1 single, 0 doubles, 0 triples, and 1 home run, for a .714 slugging percentage. Being able to get on base and to hit for power are two of the most important offensive skills in baseball, so the On Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage are often added together. On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic. The best hitters in Major League Baseball can achieve an OPS of .900 or higher. In 2008, Josh Whitesell had a .444 On Base Percentage and a .714 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of 1.159. Runs Created (RC) is a baseball statistic invented by Bill James to estimate the number of runs a hitter contributes to his team. There are a number of formulas used to calculate it. One of the simplest is (On Base Percentage) × (Total Bases). In 2008, Josh Whitesell had a .444 On Base Percentage and 5 Total Bases for 2.22 Runs Created.
