On Base Percentage (OBP) is considered by many to be a better measure of a great hitter than the Batting Average.

Slugging Percentage (SLG) is a popular measure of a batter's power. It is calculated as (Total Bases) / (At Bats). Another way to look at it is (Singles + 2 x Doubles + 3 x Triples + 4 x Home Runs) / (At Bats). In 2001, Bruce Chen had 47 at bats, and hit 6 singles, 0 doubles, 0 triples, and 0 home runs, for a .128 slugging percentage.
Being able to get on base and to hit for power are two of the most important offensive skills in baseball, so the On Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage are often added together.

In 2001, Bruce Chen had a .128 On Base Percentage and a .128 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .255.
