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.
Batting average, for example, doesn't give the batter credit for drawing a walk. OPS also rewards a batter's ability to get hits, especially extra-base hits, by including slugging percentage as a component. A double typically is more valuable to a team than a single, and this is reflected in the formula. Home runs are the most valuable type of hit, and the formula gives them the most weight.
