\paragraph{What Makes a Great Hitter?}
There are a number of factors that go in to choosing the great members that make up an excellent team. Knowing when and, more importantly, when not to swing is key. 2. A batter’s likelihood of hitting a ball can be measured by dividing the number of times at bat by the number of times they are officially at bat. It’s known as the Batting Average 3

\[AVG =
Hits/# of At Bats\] \frac{H}{AB}\]

So I go to various universities and find a number of candidates who have incredible averages. But let’s say we have a bunch of them who have a small standard deviation between them, say .375 ± .1. How do I know which ones to choose? Well, in order to win in baseball, at least on the offensive side, we need to score as many runs as possible. So the player who can get the most number of bases with the least number of at bats would be more valuable. This statistic is known as the Slugging Percentage.
\[SLG = Total Bases/# of At Bats\]
