You're both right. No stat is going to paint a complete picture of a player. OPS is WAY more accurate than what people used to look at though - avg, runs, rbis are all way more dependent on teammates, match ups, etc. The same way looking at k/d/a in league is pretty pointless because it's so dependent on the other 4 people on your team.

The thing that Billy Beane did really well was combine OPS with stuff like BABIP (did the player make a lot of contact, but hit it at fielders - ie: how unlucky was he?) and use that to find underrated players.

I don't know what the equivalent stats would be in league, they might not have been developed yet. It's also much harder in a game with 5 person teams with parts constantly in motion, opposed to 9 person teams where 1 person hits at a time.

Sabermetrics gets really close to painting picture, but you need like 20 different stat numbers to put everything into context with each number. You can't just be like "yo this singular number paints a complete picture of a player".

ok let me be more clear, if you make a meaningless scale, at which I'll put OPS at 8 of 10, KDA is basically a 1
