Slugging average is the ratio of the total number of bases achieved on hits divided by the number of official times at bat. The variables used for hitterswere: batting average (ba), runs batted in (rbi's), slugging average (sa), runs scored (r), strike outs (so), stolen bases (sb), and fielding average (fa).
On base percentage plus slugging percentage (OPS) is a relatively new measurement of a hitterâs performance in baseball. It essentially measures the playerâs ability to hit the ball, and also to get safely to base. Thus many look to OPS as a valuable tool for assessing the offensive skill of a player.
