On Base Percentage (OBP) is considered by many to be a better measure of a great hitter than the Batting Average.

Slugging Percentage (SLG) is a popular measure of a batter's power. It is calculated as (Total Bases) / (At Bats).

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.

In 2009, Ian Kinsler had a .327 On Base Percentage and a .488 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .814.
