Baseball statistics/OPS

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.
