Runs Per Innings
Runs per innings shows how many runs a batter scores on average each time they bat.
Runs per innings is a simple way to measure batting output.
Formula
Runs Per Innings = Total Runs / Innings Batted
Example: 320 runs across 8 innings gives 40 runs per innings.
Quick Example
A batter scores 360 runs across 9 innings.
360 / 9 = 40
The runs-per-innings figure is 40.
Quick Summary
- It measures raw batting output.
- Not-outs affect it less than batting average.
- It can be useful in smaller samples.

How it differs from average
Batting average uses dismissals, while runs per innings uses innings played. That reduces the effect of not-outs and shows raw production more directly.
When is it useful?
It is useful when you want a simple read on overall batting contribution. In smaller samples or chase-heavy roles, it can add useful context beside batting average.
Why it helps in comparisons
If two players have a similar average but one scores more per innings, this stat can clarify the difference in output and workload.
