Generation

OPS is a baseball statistic that combines two important measures of a batter's performance: on-base percentage (how often they reach base) and slugging percentage (how many bases they average per at-bat). You simply add these two percentages together—for example, a .350 OBP plus a .500 SLG equals an .850 OPS. This combined metric gives you a quick snapshot of both a player's ability to get on base and their power, making it more comprehensive than looking at batting average alone. In general, an OPS above .800 indicates a very good hitter, while anything above .900 is considered excellent.
