What is the median batting average, slugging, and on base percentage for a major league baseball starter?

Question

I see these stats all the time for players, but I have no idea what number makes for a good player.

Answer 1

.290 BA

.400 SLG

.345 OB

Answer 2

.270 BA / .400% slugging / .340 OBP i say would be about average for a major leaguer

Answer 3

one way to answer this question...

of all the teams in baseball (30) here are the median team statistics:

Batting Average:

15. Los Angeles Angels- .261

16. Kansas City Royals- .261

Slugging Percentage:

15. New York Mets- .414

16. Atlanta Braves- .413

On Base Percentage:

15. Baltimore Orioles - .330

16. Pittsburgh Pirates - .327

hopefully this answers your question but according to this .261/ .414/ .330 is the average player, on the average team. so anything better, and you've got yourself a major leaguer.

Answer 4

The median major league batting average is .261,  On-Base Pct. is .3285, and Slugging Pct. is .4135, based upon 2008 season statistics, to date.
