2020 Fantasy Baseball: What is AVH?

Before I dig too deep in the 2020 baseball research, I'll take a look at a stat I use for hitters. It's called AVH or average hit rate. Slugging percentage has been the standard for many years in baseball to show a player's value in producing power. Last year the major league average for slugging percentage was .435 (.409 in 2018).

This number doesn't give a Fantasy owner a real feel for a player's value or even possible growth or decline in this area. AVH = singles + doubles (each base X 2) + triples (each base X 3) + home runs (each base X 4) divided by hits or total bases divided by hits.
