SLG = (s + 2d + 3t + 4hr) / (n_{AB}). In other words, Slugging Percentage is total bases divided by at-bats.

a homerun counts as 4 bases
triples counts as 3 bases
double counts as 2 bases
single counts as 1 base

add the total bases divide by number of at bats (note: walks, hbp, errors, sacs, fc do NOT count as an "at bat")
