Re: Current active career leaders in OPS
 

not enough season to "count" though, thanks for the info though because I forgot about him.

In case you are interested, www.baseball-reference.com just updated their site with the 2004 stats.

I don't care what they say, 4 full seasons "counts".

Re: Current active career leaders in OPS
 

I would agree, whats the official number though?

Re: Current active career leaders in OPS
 

How about park-adjusted? Helton's and Walker's numbers are inflated by Coors or whatever the name is of the ballpark in Denver.

Re: Current active career leaders in OPS
 

I am not sure if it's adjusted, but Helton does hit well on the road.

Re: Current active career leaders in OPS
 

Last three years, 1.181 at home, .939 on the road. .380 batting average at home, .310 on the road, with twice as many home runs at home as on the road. He's a good player, but he's not the second best hitter in the game.

Re: Current active career leaders in OPS
 

haha, Bonds has an OPS 1.429 OPS at home and 1.298 on the road. BA of .377 at home and .339 on the road, all of this is in the past three years.

Scary stuff.

Helton is good, but i wonder what his numbers would be at home if he played elsewhere.

Re: Current active career leaders in OPS
 

Top 20 active Adjusted OPS+, which is park adjusted and is expressed as relative to the league (so 184 is 84% better than league average).

Minimum qualifier is 3000 plate appearances.

As you can see, Helton and Walker fall a bit when you take park into account.

BTW - Ruth is the career leader at 207, then Ted Williams at 190. Bonds is #3 all time.
