AFL Hitters Final Numbers in Context

By Toby Hyde on 21. Nov, 2008

AFL Hitters vs. League Average

Player	AB	AVG	OBP	SLG	OPS	OPS +
AFL	8120	.293	.371	.473	.844	-
Daniel Murphy	63	.397	.487	.619	1.106	131
Josh Thole	69	.319	.400	.420	.820	97
Shawn Bowman	37	.297	.333	.541	.874	104

What I take away:

- Dan Murphy can really hit. (But Mets fans knew that already.)

- Shawn Bowman can hit for power.

- Josh Thole can’t. But he can get on base and that’s valuable.

Please note: OPS+ is not park adjusted. 100 in the league average.
