On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic calculated as the sum of a player's on-base percentage and slugging average.[1] The statistic reflects two important offensive skills: the ability of a player to get on base and to hit for power.
Babe Ruth is the all-time leader with a career 1.1636 OPS. Ted Williams (1.1155), Lou Gehrig (1.0798), Oscar Charleston (1.0632), Barry Bonds (1.0512), Jimmie Foxx (1.0376), Turkey Stearnes (1.0340), Mule Suttles (1.0176), Hank Greenberg (1.0169), and Rogers Hornsby (1.0103) are the only other players with a career OPS over 1.000.
