This should help you understand the stats better. Many people know that a .300 batting average is good or a .500 Slugging Percentage is good but what is a good On base Times Slugging (OTS) or a good Plate Discipline On Base Percentage (pdOBP)? I think I can help. Using stats from 2008, I figure out league averages and leaders for each stat. Using these stats should help you understand what numbers should be considered below or above average and what numbers should be considered very high. For example, a .143 OTS would be considered slightly above average and a .289 OTS would be considered very high considering that Albert Pujol's .302 OTS led the majors in 2008.
