slugging percentage
Baseball
noun
A weighted average used to measure a batter's performance, calculated by dividing the number of bases gained on hits by the player's total number of at-bats.
- This average does not include bases gained by a hitter on walks; it is thus frequently considered in tandem with on-base percentage..
