OBP + SLG = OPSOn-Base + Slugging (OPS) Definition

What is OPS?
OPS is the measure of your slugging percentage combined with your on-base percentage. Each of these numbers is calculated differently. The numbers are then added together to find your OPS.
Though both of the numbers used in calculating OPS are called percentages, the actual OPS is given as a decimal and not a percent. This is how our calculator presents your answer.

What the Information Means
When you calculate your OPS, the number has less meaning than on-base percentage or slugging percentage alone. Most of the time this data is used to compare players, but high OPS numbers have correlated with some of baseball’s greatest players.
The average for MLB players in 2008 was .749, but players like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Barry Bonds, and Ted Williams had OPS of over 1.0.
Improving Your OPS
If you are a player who finds that you OPS is lower than you would like, consider working on your hitting and concentrating on getting to base more often. Doing so can not only increase your OPS, but it can also make your stats increase, which can make you a more valuable player.
