The best stat is OPS against.

Whatever stat works for you is the best one. Personally, I study 15-20 different metrics for pitchers when I try to really evaluate their performances, because I believe there a lot more to performance than any one number can provide.

But I think the main mistake people make when talking HS stats, is comparing them in any way to ML stats. In my mind, what ML players do is totally irrelevant to how HS players perform. So little is the same in either quality or quantity, to me its really meaningless. Now if you have those above figures for ALL HS pitchers, then you have something.
