strike rate
Hits per attempt
Strike rate is a statistical measure used primarily in cricket and other sports to quantify a player's scoring efficiency or success frequency.
In cricket batting, it represents runs scored per 100 balls faced; in bowling, it measures balls bowled per wicket taken.
The term has spread to other contexts where performance ratios matter, such as sales or recruitment: Her strike rate for closing deals is impressive.
A high strike rate generally indicates aggressive or efficient performance, while context determines whether higher or lower numbers are desirable.
