Winning Percentage (Pct.)
This is the percentage of games that a team has won in the current season. It's displayed in decimal form but if you're unfamiliar with this notation, you can think of it as a percent. For example, a .600 Winning Percentage means the team has won 60.0% of the games it has played.
For a single pitcher, 'Winning Percentage' refers to the player's wins as a percentage of his total number of decisions.

w% == 100 / (100 + 62) == 100/162 == .617
