average ops mlb
The higher a player's OPS is, the more potent he is offensively. In baseball, OPS is a number that combines a player's on-base percentage and his slugging percentage. In major league baseball, the average OPS in the early 21st century was about .750. Home runs are the most valuable type of hit. Though players with high OPS statistics are usually power hitters, those who are able to hit into defensive gaps usually have high OPS statistics, also.
