Who was the first person to hit 61 homeruns in a single season?
OPS is a players on base percentage plus his slugging percentageOBP is (HITS+WALKS+HIT BY PITCHES)/(AT BATS +WALKS+HIT BY PITCHES+SAC FLIES)..so once you have this # you add the slugging % ...confusing as h*ll I know
Pirates Fans... Are you a Stargell expert?
OPS stands for On base Plus Slugging and is calculated exactly that way - add together a players On Base Percentage (times reached base (H + BB + HBP) divided by at bats plus walks plus hit by pitch plus sacrifice flies (AB + BB + HBP + SF)) and their Slugging Average (total bases divided by at-bats).It came along with Bill James and SABREmetrics in the 80s but nowadays I think OPS is losing credibility as a useful statistic. It is good for calculating a pitcher's effectiveness (using OOPS, or Opponent On Base Percentage) but many think that OPS should weight Onbase Percentage more heavily than slugging.
