SLG = (1B + 2*2B + 3*3B + 4*HR) / AB. We donât house OPS+ on the site, but the calculation can be found at Baseball-Reference. Why OPS: In general, OPS is better than something like batting average or RBI because it captures a playerâs ability to get on base and their ability to hit for extra bases. For the most part, those two factors capture more of what hitters are trying to do.
What is an 'Annuitant'. An annuitant is a person who collects the benefits of an annuity or pension. It is the person named in a specialized life insurance contract. The annuitant is the beneficiary of an annuity or pension. An annuitant can be the contract holder or another person. Proceeds of the annuity contract are provided to the beneficiary upon the annuitant's death to shield the beneficiary from a loss of income.
Annuities came to America in the 18th century as a means of supporting church ministers. A Pennsylvania life insurance company was the first insurance company to market commercial annuity contracts to the public in 1912. Fixed annuities grew in popularity over time and have become a mainstay of conservative investors. Although the first variable annuity was created in 1952, they did not become commonplace until the â80s, and were followed by indexed contracts in the â90s.
