1. What is On Base Slugging Percentage (OPS)?

OPS (On-base Plus Slugging) is a sabermetric baseball statistic calculated as the sum of a player's on-base percentage and slugging percentage. It combines a player's ability to reach base with their power hitting ability.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses two formulas:

\[ OBP = \frac{Hits + Walks + Hit By Pitch}{At Bats + Walks + Hit By Pitch + Sacrifice Flies} \] \[ SLG = \frac{Singles + (2 \times Doubles) + (3 \times Triples) + (4 \times Home Runs)}{At Bats} \] \[ OPS = OBP + SLG \]

Where:

OBP — On Base Percentage
SLG — Slugging Percentage
Hits — Total hits
Walks — Bases on balls
HBP — Hit by pitch
AB — At bats
SF — Sacrifice flies

Explanation: OPS combines two important aspects of offensive performance - getting on base and hitting for power.

3. Importance of OPS in Fantasy Football

Details: While OPS is primarily a baseball statistic, it can be adapted for fantasy football formats that incorporate baseball-style metrics for player evaluation. It provides a comprehensive measure of a player's offensive contribution.
