Introduction
The OPS Calculator helps you measure how good a baseball player is at batting. OPS stands for "On-base Plus Slugging" and combines two important stats into one number. It shows how often a player gets on base and how much power they have when hitting.
OPS is one of the best ways to see a player's overall batting skill. A higher OPS means a better hitter. Most MLB players have an OPS between 0.700 and 0.800. Great players often have an OPS above 0.900. This tool makes it easy to calculate OPS using a player's basic hitting stats like hits, walks, and home runs. For more detailed batting analysis, you can also check out our On Base Percentage Calculator or Slugging Percentage Calculator to understand each component of OPS separately.
You can use this calculator in three ways. The Raw Statistics Mode lets you enter all the hitting numbers to get a full breakdown. The Quick Calculate Mode is for when you already know the OBP and SLG values. The Comparison Mode lets you compare up to three players side by side to see who has better batting stats.
How to use our OPS Calculator
Enter your baseball hitting stats to calculate the OPS score, which shows how good a batter is at getting on base and hitting for power.
At Bats (AB): Type the total number of at bats the player had, not counting walks, hit by pitch, or sacrifice flies.
Hits (H): Enter how many times the player got a hit of any kind (singles, doubles, triples, or home runs).
Doubles (2B): Put in the number of doubles the player hit during the season or time period.
Triples (3B): Add the number of triples the player hit, which are usually the rarest type of hit.
Home Runs (HR): Enter the total home runs the player hit over the fence.
Walks (BB): Type how many times the player walked to first base (also called base on balls).
Hit By Pitch (HBP): Put in the number of times the player was hit by a pitch and got to go to first base.
Sacrifice Flies (SF): Enter how many sacrifice flies the player hit to score runners from third base.
What is OPS in Baseball?
OPS stands for "On-base Plus Slugging" and is one of the best ways to measure how good a baseball player is at hitting. This number combines two important skills: getting on base and hitting for power. When you add these two skills together, you get one simple number that tells you a lot about a player's hitting ability. If you're also interested in pitching statistics, our ERA Calculator can help you evaluate pitcher performance.
Understanding the Two Parts of OPS
The first part is On-base Percentage (OBP). This shows how often a player gets on base through hits, walks, or getting hit by a pitch. A player who gets on base more often gives their team more chances to score runs. The second part is Slugging Percentage (SLG). This measures a player's power by counting how many bases they get from their hits. A single counts as one base, a double as two bases, a triple as three bases, and a home run as four bases.
What Makes a Good OPS Score?
An OPS below 0.600 is poor, while anything above 0.900 is excellent. The average MLB player has an OPS around 0.730 to 0.750. Star players often have an OPS above 0.850. Some of the best hitters in baseball history, like Babe Ruth and Barry Bonds, had OPS numbers over 1.000 for their careers. This means they were amazing at both getting on base and hitting for extra bases.
