So, the formula is: [(HR*3) + (3B*2) + 2B + H] / AB
It is basically a measure of power, as triples and home runs are worth considerably more than singles and doubles.
The theoretical maximum SLG% is 4.000.

Thanks Snakeeye. I kinda figured it was something like that. I just wanted confirmation. I am a total bandwagon Jays fan and since they've been playing real well lately, I've watched alot of their games recently.
The more baseball I know, the more I enjoy the games.
Great thread guys!!
