Bill Simmons Fun Sabermetric Statistics #2

The second sabermetric stat he mentions is Adjusted OPS (OPS-plus)

Formula: 100 x [(OBP/park-adjusted league OBP)+(slugging/park-adjusted league slugging)-1]

Goal: Adjust a player's OPS, including the effects of his home ballpark, so it makes sense in the context of that specific season/era

Flaws: More complicated than it lets on; gets into murky territory with the whole "adjusting for parks" thing.


2011 Nation League MVP has an OPS+ of 166 last year.
