List of Major League Baseball career slugging percentage leaders


In baseball statistics, slugging percentage is a measure of the batting productivity of a hitter. It is calculated as total bases divided by at bats. Unlike batting average, slugging percentage gives more weight to extra-base hits with doubles, triples, and home runs, relative to singles. Plate appearances ending in walks are specifically excluded from this calculation, as an appearance that ends in a walk is not counted as an at bat.
Babe Ruth is the all-time leader with a career slugging percentage of.6897. Ted Williams, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Barry Bonds, and Hank Greenberg are the only other players with a career slugging percentage over.600.
