Definition: Batting Average is a statistic in baseball that is used to measure the performance of batters success at the plate.

Batting average is often used when comparing batters.

A batting average of .400 is four hits in every 10 at-bats, so while a batting average is important it does not account for all aspects of the game. As it doesn't account for any time a batter makes the base by walks etc.
