Understanding Batting Average
What is Batting Average?
Batting average is a fundamental statistic in both baseball and cricket that measures a player's hitting success rate. It provides a simple but effective way to evaluate a batsman's skill and consistency at the plate.
Why is it Important?
- •Measures hitting consistency and skill level
- •Helps coaches evaluate player performance
- •Used for player comparisons and rankings
- •Influences team selection and strategy
Key Differences
Baseball
- • Based on hits per at-bat
- • Expressed to 3 decimal places
- • .300+ considered excellent
- • Excludes walks and hit-by-pitch
Cricket
- • Based on runs per dismissal
- • Expressed to 2 decimal places
- • 40+ considered very good
- • Not out innings don't count as dismissals
Pro Tip: Context matters! A .250 average might be excellent for a pitcher but poor for a designated hitter in baseball.
