.761 is Max Wagner’s slugging percentage which is good for 60th in the nation.  Wagner is quietly having a great season at the plate as his OPS of 1.285 translates to an OPS+ of 164.  OPS+ is a stat that normalizes the OPS metric across all of D1 and means Wagner’s OPS is 64% higher than your average D1 player.

Wagner is second on the team in batting average at .370 and tied for the team lead with 4 home runs.  When talking about the Clemson lineup, many names are generally listed before Wagner, but he’s quietly been spectacular.
