OPS is simply defined by the sum of
On-base percentage and
Slugging percentage.
This statistic is very popular in measuring the offensive worth of a player since it
- Is relatively easy to calculate
- Correlates well (and positively!), on a team-by-team basis, with the number of wins a team achieves.
Originally solely the province of statisticians, the stat is lately finding acceptance in mainstream baseball coverage and analysis.
