OPS, by itself, is not a measure of anything.
Yes it is.

It is a combination of two stats -- OBP and SLG. You can add them up and get OPS. Or you can look at them separately as measuring two different skills.

If you have some other explanation for OPS, I'm sure we'd all love to hear it.
OPS measures how often a player gets on base and how many bases he takes from the plate. It's a measure of offensive efficiency from the batter's box.
