Spring Training performance has little predictive value relative to regular-season performance. So don’t accuse me of panic or pessimism.
But it’s a good thing. Because the Astros haven’t looked very good so far this Spring Training. Especially with the bats.
Not including ties, the Astros record is 3 - 9, the worst in baseball.
Hitting
Team hitting statistics are at the rock-bottom of MLB.
OPS .630, ranked 29th
BA.....217, ranked 29th
OBP .320, ranked 24th
SLG .330, ranked 29th
HRs 7.......ranked last
Runs 52....ranked 29th
When you consider who’s carrying what little offense there is, it looks even worse.
