The formula to calculate the on-base plus slugging (OPS) is:
\[ OPS = OBP + SLG \]
Where:
On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic calculated as the sum of a player’s on-base percentage (OBP) and slugging percentage (SLG). It is a measure of a player’s ability to get on base and hit for power, providing a comprehensive view of their overall offensive performance. A higher OPS indicates a more effective hitter.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the OPS:
\[ OPS = OBP + SLG = 0.350 + 0.450 = 0.800 \]
The On-Base Plus Slugging (OPS) is 0.800.
