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 1987, Orestes Destrade had a .417 On Base Percentage and a .263 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .680. 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 1987, Orestes Destrade had a .417 On Base Percentage and 5 Total Bases for 2.08 Runs Created.
