BASEBALL How to Figure Standing of Baseball Clubs; Also the Batting and Fielding Averages To Find the Percentage Divide the games won by the total number of games played. To Find the Batting Average Divide the total number of base hits by the total number of times at bat. Example: -Player makes 171 hits and is 490 times at bat. 171 divided by 490 gives .349. To Find the Fielding Average Divide the total number of put-outs and assists, by the number of chances accepted, i.e, the total of put-outs, assists and errors. The result will be fielding average. For example: - If player has 316 put-outs and 494 assists-total 810. Add to 810 the number of his errors, 61, and the total chances accepted are 871. Divide 810 by 871 and the result is .930, player's average.
