What is a Baseball Fielding Average?

A baseball fielding average is a statistical measure used to evaluate a player’s defensive performance. It is calculated by dividing the sum of putouts and assists by the total number of chances (putouts, assists, and errors). The fielding average provides an indication of how often a player successfully makes a play without committing an error. A higher fielding average indicates better defensive performance.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ FA = \frac{100 + 50}{100 + 50 + 5} \approx 0.952 \]

The Fielding Average is approximately 0.952.
