Best Answer

The batting average is the percent of times a batter gets a successful hit per official times at bat. It is determined by dividing the hits by the times at bat, i. e. times at bat 10; hits 3. 3 divided by 10 gives you a .300 batting average, or the batter gets a hit 30% of the times he has an official at bat. Base on balls (walks), sacrifice hits, sacrifice flies, hit by pitch ball, and catcher interference do not count as an official at bat.

What does batting 1000 mean?

Somebody batting a thousand had a base hit in each of his or her at bats. Baseball statistics that call themselves percentages are generally out of 1,000, not 100. Batting average is the number of hits per thousand at bats. So somebody batting three hundred has 300 hits per 1,000 at bats, and somebody batting 1,000 has 1,000 hits per thousand at bats. Since 1941 no Major League Baseball player has ever hit over 400 in a full season.
