In this short note, the asymptotic distribution of slugging percentage (SLG) in baseball is derived under multinomial sampling. It is shown that treating SLG like a binomial random variable divided by the number of trials (as is occasionally done in the literature) gives only a lower bound on the variance, which may be a considerable underestimate in practice.
