How do you figure out what players are on pace to hit for?

I always hear/read that a player is on pace to hit .300 27 HRs and 140 RBIs for example. how do you figure that out?? is there a website to figure this out or a simple formula to figure this out?How do you figure out what players are on pace to hit for?
Since a batting average is a percentage, there is no such thing as being ';on pace'; for a certain average. This would hold true for anything that is an average rather than a total, so ERA, WHIP, BA, OBP. SLP also would not be able to be ';on pace';.


But if it is a definitive number, such as RBI, HR. Hits, SB, etc. - it's very easy.


Start with 162 (number of games in a season).


Divide it by the number of games played.


Multiply it by the number you wish to figure ';on place'; total for.


Example - a player has 16 home runs, 43 RBI, and 5 stolen bases through 54 games.


162 divided by 54 is 3.


So you would multiply the numbers at the 54 game mark by 3, giving you 48 homers, 129 RBI and 15 steals.





(This won't be perfect because a player may have missed some time early in the year, but it's a good start)





Edit - Riferous also has the correct answer. His formula is basically the same as mine, just done a little differently.lHow do you figure out what players are on pace to hit for?
Divide the number of hits, home runs, etc. by the number of games the team has played, and multiply by 162.
No they figure it out because hes doing all this that its going forward.
