1. What is OPS?

OPS (On-base Plus Slugging) is a baseball statistic that combines a player's ability to get on base (OBP) with their power hitting ability (SLG). It's calculated by simply adding these two metrics together.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

\[ OBP = \frac{Hits + Walks + Hit By Pitch}{At Bats + Walks + Hit By Pitch + Sacrifice Flies} \] \[ SLG = \frac{Total Bases}{At Bats} \] \[ OPS = OBP + SLG \]

Where:

Total Bases = Singles + (2 × Doubles) + (3 × Triples) + (4 × Home Runs)
OBP — On Base Percentage
SLG — Slugging Percentage

3. Importance of OPS

Details: OPS is one of the best simple metrics for evaluating a hitter's overall offensive performance. It correlates well with run production and is easy to calculate.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all required statistics from a player's performance. At Bats must be greater than zero for valid calculations.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a good OPS value?
A: In MLB, .800+ is very good, .900+ is excellent, and 1.000+ is MVP-caliber. Average is typically around .700-.750.

Q2: Why combine OBP and SLG?
A: OBP measures how often a player reaches base, while SLG measures power. Together they provide a complete picture of offensive value.

Q3: Are there limitations to OPS?
A: OPS treats OBP and SLG as equally valuable, though OBP is actually more important for run scoring. It also doesn't account for baserunning or situational hitting.

Q4: How does OPS compare to wOBA?
A: wOBA (Weighted On-Base Average) is more accurate as it properly weights different offensive events, but OPS is simpler to calculate.

Q5: Can OPS be used to compare players across eras?
A: To some degree, but league-average OPS changes over time due to factors like rule changes and equipment evolution.
