Equivalent average

Equivalent average

Equivalent Average (EqA) is a baseball metric invented by Clay Davenport, and intended to express the production of hitters in a context independent of park and league effects. It represents a hitter's productivity using the same scale as batting average. Thus, a hitter with an EqA over .300 is a great hitter, while a hitter with an EqA of .220 or below is poor. An EqA of .260 is defined as league average.EqA is calculated using this formula:

Where
*"H" = Hits
*"TB" = Total bases
*"BB" = Bases on Balls (Walks)
*"HBP" = Hit by pitch
*"SB" = Stolen bases
*"SH" = Sacrifice hits
*"SF" = Sacrifice Flies
*"AB" = At bats
*"CS" = Caught stealing
