On-base Plus Slugging (OPS) is a key statistic in baseball that combines a player's ability to get on base (OBP) with their power hitting (SLG). It provides a more comprehensive measure of offensive performance than batting average alone.
OBP = (H + BB + HBP) ÷ (AB + BB + HBP + SF)
SLG = (1B + 2×2B + 3×3B + 4×HR) ÷ AB
OPS = OBP + SLG
By calculating OPS, coaches, analysts, and fantasy baseball players can evaluate a player's overall offensive contribution efficiently. A higher OPS indicates a player who both gets on base frequently and hits for power.
OPS is On-base Plus Slugging, a combination of OBP and SLG that evaluates overall offensive performance.
OBP = (H + BB + HBP) ÷ (AB + BB + HBP + SF)
SLG = (1B + 2×2B + 3×3B + 4×HR) ÷ AB
OPS = OBP + SLG
OPS reflects both a player's ability to get on base and hit for power, giving a comprehensive measure of offensive value.
