Total Bases

The Total Bases calculator computes the total number of bases from the number of singles, doubles, triples and home runs.

INTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:

• (S) Singles
• (D) Doubles
• (T) Triples
• (HR) Home Runs

Total Bases (TB): The calculator returns the total number of bases.

The Math / Science

Hank Aaron is  the all-time leader in total bases.

The Total Bases in baseball is the number of bases a player has gained with hits. It is a weighted sum for which the weight value is 1 for a single, 2 for a double, 3 for a triple and 4 for a home run. Only bases attained from hits count toward this total. Reaching base by other means (such as a base on balls) or advancing further after the hit (such as when a subsequent batter gets a hit) does not increase the player's total bases.

The formula for Total Bases is:

`TB= (1*S)+(2*D)+(3*T)+(4*HR)`

where:

• TB = Total Bases
• S = number of singles (hits on which the batter reaches first base without the contribution of a fielding error)
• D  = number of doubles (hits on which the batter reaches second base safely without the contribution of a fielding error)
• T = number of triples (hits on which the batter reaches third base without the contribution of a fielding error)
• HR = number of home runs (hits on which the batter successfully touched all four bases, without the contribution of a fielding error)
