Total Chances = Putouts + Assists + Errors

Understanding Fielding Percentage

What is FPCT?

Fielding Percentage (FPCT) measures how often a fielder successfully handles a chance without making an error. It's calculated by dividing successful plays (putouts + assists) by total chances.

FPCT Interpretation

  • 1.000: Perfect (no errors)
  • 0.980+: Elite level
  • 0.950-0.979: Good
  • 0.900-0.949: Average
  • Below 0.900: Below average

Sample Calculation

Example: Player Statistics

Putouts: 1489

Assists: 496

Errors: 33

Calculation:

Total Chances = 1489 + 496 + 33 = 2018

FPCT = (1489 + 496) ÷ 2018

FPCT = 0.984 (98.4%)

Note: High FPCT doesn't reflect a fielder's range or the difficulty of plays attempted.
