OPS?

[mopapa]

BA = Batting Average

OBP = On Base Percentage

OPS = :?:

 

Thanks.

On base Plus Slugging

 

for example; if a player has an OBP of .350 and a SLG% of .500, his OPS is then .850

OPS is simply a way of looking at how good a hitter a player is in a total sense.

 

By looking at the parts, you can see what type of hitter a player is:

 

High OBP, low SLG = gets on base well but doesn't hit for a lot of power. Theriot is a good example right now.

Low OBP, High SLG = player hits for power, but probably is not too patient, see Soriano.

High OBP, High SLG = Well rounded player.

Low OBP, Low SLG = sucks.

Low OBP, Low SLG = Neifi.
