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

In 1926, Wally Pipp had 574 at bats, 167 hits, 49 walks, and was hit by the pitch 5 times. Sacrifice flies weren't counted before 1954. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .352.
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 1926, Wally Pipp had 574 at bats, and hit 124 singles, 22 doubles, 15 triples, and 6 home runs, for a .413 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.

In 1926, Wally Pipp had a .352 On Base Percentage and a .413 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .765.
