How is the batting averages calculated?

Batting average is calculated by dividing a player's total number of hits by their total number of at-bats. The formula is: Batting Average (BA) = Hits / At-Bats. At-bats exclude walks, hit-by-pitches, and sacrifices, focusing only on instances where the player has the opportunity to make a hit. The result is typically expressed as a three-digit decimal, such as .300, indicating the percentage of at-bats that resulted in a hit.
