On Base Percentage (OBP) is considered by many to be a better measure of a great hitter than the Batting Average. It is calculated with the formula (Hits + Walks + Hit by Pitch) / (At Bats + Walks + Hit by Pitch + Sacrifice Flies). In 1993, Sammy Sosa had 598 at bats, 156 hits, 38 walks, and was hit by the pitch 4 times. He had 1 sacrifice fly. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .309.
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 1993, Sammy Sosa had 598 at bats, and hit 93 singles, 25 doubles, 5 triples, and 33 home runs, for a .485 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. On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic. The best hitters in Major League Baseball can achieve an OPS of .900 or higher. In 1993, Sammy Sosa had a .309 On Base Percentage and a .485 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .794.
Runs Created (RC) is a baseball statistic invented by Bill James to estimate the number of runs a hitter contributes to his team. There are a number of formulas used to calculate it. One of the simplest is (On Base Percentage) × (Total Bases). In 1993, Sammy Sosa had a .309 On Base Percentage and 290 Total Bases for 89.58 Runs Created.
