  1.       
    Slugging average. (Baseball) a measure of the effectiveness of a batter at reaching base and advancing other runners, calculated as the sum of the number of bases reached on each hit, divided by the total number of times at bat.  A double counts two bases, a triple three, a home run four.  Thus a batter with four singles, two doubles and a triple in 20 official times at bat would have a slugging average of 0.550, and a batting average of 0.350.  Also called slugging percentage.  Compare batting average.
