I understand, but there are a lot of people that like to use OPS as it somewhat takes into account HR and BA. I listed this because OPS isn't listed on the LSU statistics page, whereas BA and HR are.
OPS is the dumbest metric of all time and batting average isn't part of the formula. I don't give a shite what my table setter's slugging percentage is. If they are able to get on base and steal second, then they are doing their job. And I don't care what my top RBI guy's on base percentage is. I'd rather he have a lower BA and more extra base hits with runners on than being pitched around, drawing walks that prop up his OBP and OPS.

I mean… how often you get a hit is part of Ob%
you don’t car how often your lead off hitter gets in base and how often that base is 2nd or 3rd?

extra base hits are what sluggin% measures and that’s the part of OPS.

OPS = On base percentage + slugging
On base percentage = hits + BBs + HBP / total plate appearances
batting average is part of the equation for on base percentage.

more extra base hits is going to raise his OPS more than getting walked will :themoreyouknow:

OPS is the stat most closely correlated with scoring runs. And scoring runs is the only objective of an offense.
You can talk about how it's a junk stat because the denominators are different or that it gives equal weighting where it probably shouldn't, but as a measure of offense it's one of the best stats there is.

Itd have been more efficient to just say you dont know what OPS is

Just because you are too dumb to understand something, doesn't make the entire metric dumb.
