OPS isn't the end all be stat son.

Good thing I used OPS+ then.

Dont tell me how many hits you got, tell me when you got them...this is so very true.

 

[TheChicagoFan]

Avg with runners in scoring pos that's all the stat I need for a hitter.

But that doesn't matter if you're not getting on base. OPS is the best because it considers walks and how they are good and it adds slugging which rewards extra base hits. (And those lead to scoring chances)

Yup. OPS or OPS+ is the best way to measure a hitter's true worth.
