The Astros bludgeoned their way through Major League Baseball last year on the back of a historically great offense. You likely already know this, but please indulge me: it’s FUN to recount just how truly dominant they were.
They led baseball in runs scored, batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS, and OPS+. Looking for more advanced metrics? You got it. They were also first in weighted runs created plus (wRC+), weighted on-base average (wOBA), isolated power, contact rate, and offensive fWAR.
They ascended to the top of all these categories (and several more) while recording the fewest strikeouts in baseball, perhaps their most incredible feat given the rocket-like rise in strikeouts across baseball.
