In 1985, Tony Gwynn had 622 at bats, and hit 157 singles, 29 doubles, 5 triples, and 6 home runs, for a .408 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 1985, Tony Gwynn had a .364 On Base Percentage and a .408 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .773.
