Default Runs Scored, Why so Little Emphasis?
Posted By: Dan Bretta

Barry, runs scored obviously are the most important team statistic, but I thought we were talking about individual statistics.

For an individual runs scored and runs batted in all rely in some degree on your teammates. OPS is solely based on the individual hitter. Lou Gehrig certainly wouldn't have had as many RBI had he played for Washington, but his lifetime OPS would still be around 1.080.
