The same as the batting average except it takes the number of bases reached with each hit into account.

If you retired with one major league at bat and hit a single during the at bat, you'd have a career Slugging Percentage of 1.000. If you retired with one major league at bat and hit a home run during the at bat, you'd have a career Slugging Percentage of 4.000.
