Recently, I posted Sabermetrics Hitting 101 and 202, which covered the basic and intermediate hitting stats. Of particular focus were OPS and wOBA, which were attempts to unify batting lines into a singular stat that valued all outcomes for a higter and assigned an overall run value rate.
To recap, remember that there are two primary means by which a hitter can provide value with the bat: by getting on base (avoiding outs) and by hitting for power (different hits have different values). To accomplish this, OPS was created and I broke down OPS to show these two elements at play:
Keep in that mind that this was only approximate, as OBP and OPS have different denominators and that the run values for each type of outcome were reasonable but not accurate.
