The formula for a baseball player's slugging percentage is:
SLG = (1*58 + 2*24 + 3*8 + 4*39) / 324
Use your calculator to compute SLG = 0.883
SLG was created to correct for a deficiency in "batting average." In the regular batting average calculation, extra base hits are weighed the same as a single, while SLG weighs the extra base hits more (e.g. home run is 4x the weight of a single), thus producing a better picture of a player's hit production.
