==Criticism== Despite its simple calculation, OPS is a controversial measurement. OPS weighs on-base percentage and slugging percentage equally. However, on-base percentage correlates better with scoring runs.<ref>Lewis, Michael (203). ''Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game''{{page needed|date=June 2019}}</ref> Statistics such as [[wOBA]] build on this distinction using [[linear weights]]. Additionally, the components of OPS are not typically equal (league-average slugging percentages are usually 75β100 points higher than league-average on-base percentages). As a point of reference, the OPS for all of Major League Baseball in 2024 was .711.<ref>{{cite web |title=2024 Major League Baseball Standard Batting |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/2024-standard-batting.shtml |website=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref>
