Good Slg & Obp Numbers

OPS On base plus slugging is a quick and dirty best measurement for a hitter. Anyone going 300/400/500 is having a great year at any level. Some are making the case for multipling OBP by SLG to get a better measure of a hitter's offensive contribution. I believe the importance of the two measures depends on the type of hitter you are. If you don't have have the ability to score a run yourself or get yourslf into scoring position (slg%), then you had better avoid making outs, (OBP), at a very high rate. In MLB .800 OPS is star level.

That's AVG/OBP/SLG right?

Yes, the slash line - AVG/OBP/SLG

For me WHIP for a pitcher is comparable to OPS for a hitter. If I had only one stat to measure a pitcher my choice would be Walks+Hits/Innings Pitched.

A couple of other stats that might really help you understand how good a hitter or pitcher is relative to his current level of competition and which helps you project how well he'd do at a higher level are BB/K ratio and K/9. If a hitter is walking as often as he is striking out he projects pretty well at a higher level. Any pitcher who prevents 1 or more hitters per inning from even putting the ball in play has a big advantage.
