OPS - What is the target?
#1
For some (many?) of us, we grew up on batting average and on-base percentage being the metric to judge good hitters.

OPS isn't technically new, but it's become a more predominant metric in judging good hitters nowadays.

Given I'm not nearly as plugged into baseball as I am football or hockey, I wanted to know what is considered a good OPS.

Per this article, an average hitter will have around .750 OPS.
A good hitter should have .800 or better.
An elite one will have .900 or better.

If we use this measurement, Reds only have one full-time "good" hitter right now (McLain) and one average hitter (EDLC).
Trevino has the highest OPS, but he's splitting time with Wynns at C right now.

Should the Reds look to use Trevino as DH on off-days from catching, especially once Stephenson is back?
Are the Reds going to be able to survive with ~3-4 guys hitting >.750 OPS?

My thoughts are yes to Question 1, no to Question 2.

Your thoughts?
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs

Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.

Sorry for Party Rocking!
