Common questions
How is slugging percentage different from batting average?
Batting average counts every hit equally, while slugging weights total bases, so a home run is worth four times a single.
What is a good OPS?
An OPS around .800 is a solid regular, .900 is an All-Star level, and above 1.000 is elite production.
