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

In 1968, Curt Motton had 217 at bats, 43 hits, 31 walks, and was hit by the pitch 1 time. He had 3 sacrifice flies. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .298.
Slugging Percentage (SLG) is a popular measure of a batter's power. It is calculated as (Total Bases) / (At Bats). Another way to look at it is (Singles + 2 x Doubles + 3 x Triples + 4 x Home Runs) / (At Bats). In 1968, Curt Motton had 217 at bats, and hit 28 singles, 7 doubles, 0 triples, and 8 home runs, for a .341 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 1968, Curt Motton had a .298 On Base Percentage and a .341 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .639.
