Some Astros’ Rankings: Offense Edition
Kyle Tucker congratulated after hitting a HR against the Detroit Tigers.The Astros are almost a quarter through the season. For good or bad, let’s take stock of some of the Astros’ statistical rankings on offense.
Offense
The Astros offense ranks 6th in wRC+ (113), perhaps the best summary offense measure. Only the Dodgers, Phillies, Yankees, Milwaukee, and Orioles are better. The Astros’ hitters are No. 1 in batting average, No. 5 in OBP, and No. 7 in SLG.
Those good offensive rankings haven’t contributed to a similar high ranking in runs scored. The Astros rank 14th in both runs and RBIs. So, the Astros are top six in offense but middle of the pack in converting the offense to runs.
