The higher a player's OPS is, the more potent he is offensively. In baseball, OPS is a number that combines a player's on-base percentage and his slugging percentage. In major league baseball, the average OPS in the early 21st century was about .750. Home runs are the most valuable type of hit. Though players with high OPS statistics are usually power hitters, those who are able to hit into defensive gaps usually have high OPS statistics, also.
All of a sudden, it's not just BA and Runs Scored, it's OBA. OPS is the abbreviation for On-Base Plus Slugging (occasionally referred to as Offensive Production Statistic), a common statistic used by sabermetricians to judge a player's overall offensive performance. OPS is the sum of on-base percentage and slugging percentage. There are many variations on OPS that try to account for the different values of getting on base and slugging, with the most prominent being Gross Production Average.
