How it works

  • Fielding percentage is (putouts + assists) / (putouts + assists + errors). The denominator is the total chances (TC).
  • Following baseball convention, the result is shown to three decimals with no leading zero (e.g. .987). A flawless performance with no errors displays as 1.000.
  • Enter putouts (PO) for outs completed by catching or tagging, assists (A) for throws or plays that helped record an out, and errors (E) for misplays charged in the official record.
  • A higher fielding percentage means fewer mistakes, but the metric does not reflect range or the ability to reach difficult batted balls. Pair it with other metrics for a complete defensive evaluation.
  • If all three inputs are 0, total chances is 0 and the percentage cannot be computed. Enter a value of 1 or more in at least one field.
  • The breakdown table lists your putouts, assists, errors, total chances, and fielding percentage, making it easy to compare multiple players or aggregate a season.
