Phillies OPS single-season leaders
This browser does not support the video element.
On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic calculated as the sum of a player's on-base percentage and slugging percentage. It's meant to combine how well a hitter can reach base, with how well he can hit for average and for power.
A good OPS at the Major League level is .800 or higher, which indicates the hitter is having an above-average season. An OPS of .900 or higher means the player is having an All-Star season, and a 1.000 OPS or higher suggests the hitter is having an MVP season.
The highest figure is 1.422 compiled by Barry Bonds of the Giants in 2004, a season in which he drew 232 walks, an unworldly number.
