It's true, you know?

It's true, you know?

It's definitely out of control now.

I don't mind some advanced stats. I think OPS and OPS+ tell you quite a lot about a hitter, because it incorporates how often a hitter gets on base and how much a hitter hits for power. By far the two most important things.

Batting average used to be the gold standard for a hitter but it's completely inadequate. I'm glad people have gravitated away from that.

But all this vorp war stuff is mostly bullshit to me.

Yes, I agree OPS (and especially OPS plus) is the best single marker by far for hitting.
