What is OPS?
On-base plus slugging — literally OBP + SLG — is baseball's favorite one-number offense summary. It marries getting on base with power, and it correlates with run production far better than either half alone. .800 is a good hitter; .900 is a star; 1.000 is an MVP season.
How the calculator works
Enter the full counting line; the tool computes OBP and SLG separately, then sums them, and labels the result against league norms.
Common use cases
- Card and record-book debates
- Fantasy roto offense valuation
- Quick comparisons across eras (park-adjust for real rigor)
Formula & context
OPS treats OBP and SLG equally though OBP is worth slightly more per point — wRC+ fixes that weighting, but OPS remains the people's champion.
