How to calculate certain stats

Note: A plate appearance is any time a player steps up to the plate. At-bat: Subtract sacrifices, walks, times hit by a pitch from plate appearances Batting average: Divide hits by at-bats. Slugging percentage: Divide total bases by at-bats. Earned run average: Multiply the number of earned runs by 9, then divide by the number of innings pitched. On base percentage: Add hits, walks, instances of reaching first base on a dropped third strike and times hit by pitcher and divide that sum by the sum of at-bats, walks, times hit by pitcher and sacrifices. Fielding percentage: Add putouts and assists, then divide the sum by the quantity of putouts plus assists plus errors. Save percentage: Saves divided by save opportunities. Save: A pitcher saves a game when he 1) enters the game with his team winning; 2) could be the finishing pitcher (and is not the winning pitcher of record when he enters the game); 3) and meets one of the following criteria: 1) has a lead of no more than three runs and has the opportunity to pitch at least one inning; 2) has pitched at least three innings regardless of score and the scorekeeper decides to credit him with the save; 3) has entered the game with the tying run on base, deck or at-bat.
