All or Nothing at All
Justin Morneau's freakish season continues. He hit his fourth home run tonight, going 1 for 3. He only collected seven hits on the season so far, so he's sitting with a .226 BA but a .613 Slugging Percentage. That means his average hit is pretty close to a triple. Now, he just needs to increase the frequency of those safeties.
Correction: Should be slugging percentage on the .613, not OBA. One commentor says that's closer to a double. Slug/BA = Bases per hit. .613/.226 = 2.7, which is closer to a triple.

i think you mean his SLG is .613, and that's actually closer to a double than a triple
oops, you're right, if he has a hit, it averages out to a triple, not he averages a triple for a plate appearance
