Statistics such as wOBA build on this distinction using linear weights. Additionally, the components of OPS are not typically equal (league-average slugging percentages are usually 75–100 points higher than league-average on-base percentages). As a point of reference, the OPS for all of Major League Baseball in 2019 was .758. [10]
In baseball statistics, slugging percentage (SLG) is a measure of the batting productivity of a hitter. It is calculated as total bases divided by at-bats , through the following formula, where AB is the number of at-bats for a given player, and 1B , 2B , 3B , and HR are the number of singles , doubles , triples , and home runs , respectively:
Víctor Martínez led all of Major League Baseball in 2014 with an OPSBI of 1077, the lowest league-leading total since 1984.. On-base plus slugging plus runs batted in (OPSBI) is a baseball statistic calculated as the normalized sum of a player's on-base percentage and slugging percentage added to their runs batted in.
Some sabermetric statistics have entered the mainstream baseball world that measure a batter's overall performance including on-base plus slugging, commonly referred to as OPS. OPS adds the hitter's on-base percentage (number of times reached base by any means divided by total plate appearances) to their slugging percentage ( total bases ...
Gross production average (GPA) is a baseball statistic created in 2003 by Aaron Gleeman, [1] as a refinement of on-base plus slugging (OPS). [2] [3] GPA attempts to solve two frequently cited problems with OPS. First, OPS gives equal weight to its two components, on-base percentage (OBP) and slugging percentage (SLG). In fact, OBP contributes ...
Babe Ruth, the all-time leader in OPS. On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic calculated as the sum of a player's on-base percentage and slugging average. [1] The statistic reflects two important offensive skills: the ability of a player to get on base and to hit for power. Babe Ruth is the all-time leader with a career ...
In the most basic runs created formula: = (+) + where H is hits, BB is base on balls, TB is total bases and AB is at-bats.. This can also be expressed as = = where OBP is on-base percentage, SLG is slugging average, AB is at-bats and TB is total bases, however OBP includes the hit-by-pitch while the previous RC formula does not.
In modern times, the statistic on-base plus slugging (OPS) is seen as a more accurate measure of a player's ability as a batter; this stat combines the player's on-base percentage (a percentage of their plate appearances where the batter gets on base), with the player's slugging percentage (an average of total bases with at-bats). An OPS at or ...
