An OPS Scale
Bill James, in his essay titled "The 96 Families of Hitters" uses seven different categories for classification by OPS:
| Category | Classification | OPS Range |
|---|---|---|
| A | Great | .9000 and Higher |
| B | Moderate | .8333 to .8999 |
| C | Above Average | .7667 to .8333 |
| D | Average | .7000 to .7666 |
| E | Below Average | .6334 to .6999 |
| F | Poor | .5667 to .6333 |
| G | Atrocious | .5666 and Lower |
This effectively transforms OPS into a 7 point Likert Scale. Substituting typical Likert scale quality values such as Excellent (A), Very Good (B), Good (C), Average (D), Fair (E), Poor (F) and Very Poor (G) for the A-G categories creates a subjective reference for OPS values.

Famous quotes containing the word scale:
“The Humanity of men and women is inversely proportional to their Numbers. A Crowd is no more human than an Avalanche or a Whirlwind. A rabble of men and women stands lower in the scale of moral and intellectual being than a herd of Swine or of Jackals.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
