In baseball statistics, slugging average (often abbreviated SLG or SA) is a measure of the power of a hitter. It is calculated as total bases divided by at bats.
SLG = (h + d + 2t + 3hr) / (n_{AB}), where (n_{AB}), is the number of at-bats for a given player, and h, d, t, hr, are the number of hits, doubles, triples, and home runs, respectively. The following site provides information on calculation, total bases, total official at bats, slugging, and other baseball statistics: ESPN's MLB statistics glossary.
The term slugging percentage is a misnomer, as it is actually a calculation of average, not percent.

Total Bases / At Bats.
Some people (Ken Macha of the A's is one) have said that the formula should be adjusted to Total Bases + Stolen Bases - Caught Stealing / At Bats, since this would more truly measure how much offense the batter generates on his own.

It's total bases divided by at bats. This is supposed to tell you the frequency at which a player hits for power. i.e. doubles, triples and home runs mean more bases than singles

Total Bases divided by At-Bats.
You determine total bases quite simply-a single is one base, double two bases, triple three bases, a home run four bases.
