OBP = (hits+walks+hbp) / (AB+walks+hbp+sac flies)SLG = total bases / AB
OPS = OBP + SLG
The links below give you information about other types of stats, etc. Some of the info might stuff you already know, but then again, other people read these, too.

O + P + S = NFIWhat do u think when you here know batting lance berkman?
OPS is slugging percentage + on base percentage.Will Portland, OR ever get an MLB team?
The basic formula iswhere OBP is on-base percentage, and SLG is slugging percentage. These percentages are defined as
where:
H = Hits
BB = Bases on balls
HBP = Times hit by pitch
AB = At bats
SF = Sacrifice flies
TB = Total bases
Since OBP and SLG have different denominators, it is possible to rewrite the expression for OPS using a common denominator. This expression is mathematically identical to the simple sum of OBP and SLG:
OPS == OBP + SLG, in the standard to-three-decimals format.
Since OPS doesn't measure anything -- the number by itself is meaningless, it simply hangs a numerical value on a qualitative concept -- the decimal point can be discarded.
