TB Calculator

Definition – What is Total Bases?

TB is the total number of bases a hitter has batted for.

It is a simple addition with equal weight to each base hit – a 1 base hit adds 1 to the total, a 3 base hit adds 3 to the total, etc.

It does not take into account bases earned in other ways (such as walks or hit by pitch).

Formula – How to calculate TB

TB = 1 base hits + (2 x 2 base hits) + (3 x 3 base hits) + (4 x home runs)

Example

If a batter has 75 1 base hits, 38 2 base hits, 7 3 base hits, and 13 home runs, then:TB = 75 + (38 x 2) + (7 x 3) + (13 x 4)TB = 75 + 76 + 21 + 52TB = 224This batter has produced 224 bases through hits.
