What is OPS?

On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a statistic that adds a player's on-base percentage and slugging percentage. It values things such as walks and extra-base hits that batting average cannot measure. The major-league average in 2012 was .724. Baseball's best hitters will typically post an .850 OPS or higher. Miguel Cabrera led the majors with a .999 OPS in 2012.
