Batting average is determined by how many hits a player gets during how many at-bats the player gets. You divide the at-bats, by the hits and you will get the batting average. It doesn't count as an at-bat if it is a walk or a hit by pitch. It also wouldn't be credited as a hit if it is a fielder's choice or an error.

Batting average is essentially the percent of at bats in which a batter gets a hit. The formula for determining this is hits divided by at bats. Note that walks, hit by pitches, and sacrifices do not count as at bats, but errors and fielder's choices do.
Typically, .300 is considered a very good batting average. Ted Williams was the last player to hit over .400 by hitting .406 in 1941.

A batting average is the number of hits a player gets divided by the number of at bats. Walks don't help your average and niether does a dropped thrid strike. A good batting average would be over .300.
.350+ is incredible
.320-350 is tremendous
.300-320 is great
.285-.300 is good
.270-.280 is okay
.250-270 is not very good
.200-250 is bad
.100-.200 is horrible
under .100 is herendous
