As a result, the 4 counts (AB + BB + SF +HBP) are needed to calculate a batter's total trips to the plate. and SLG = \frac{TB} {AB} where: H = hits BB = bases on balls HBP = times [by pitch] AB = at bats SF = sacrifice flies TB = total bases In one equation, OPS can be represented as: OPS = \frac{AB*(H+BB+HBP)+TB*(AB+BB+SF+HBP)}{AB*(AB+BB+SF+HBP)} ==History== On-base plus slugging was first popularized in 1984 by John Thorn and Pete Palmer's book, The Hidden Game of Baseball.
The popularity of OPS gradually spread, and by 2004 it began appearing on Topps baseball cards. OPS was formerly sometimes known as production.
