We'll get back to the offense in a moment. The 2023 Royals had the lowest on-base percentage in team history. The league average for runs per game went up a little more than 0.22 runs (it went from 4.28 runs per game to 4.62 runs per game).įor all the hopium about how the Royals might be an above average offense right now if you cut out enough games. The Royals went from scoring 3.95 runs per game to 4.17 runs per game. Fewer hits, fewer walks, fewer singles, more doubles, more triples, more homers. Those hits were: 861 singles, 258 doubles, 43 triples, and 163 home runs. This season, Royals hitters had 1325 hits and 411 walks. Those hits were: 904 singles, 247 doubles, 38 triples, and 138 home runs. Last season, Royals hitters had 1327 hits and 460 walks. That's 36 more runs scored and 49 more runs allowed for anybody who didn't already do the math. This season, the Royals scored 676 runs and allowed 859 runs. Last season, the Royals scored 640 runs and allowed 810 runs. (As someone with a History degree, I will try my best to limit how many sentences I start with "So") There's some more math involved than just that but most of us only took enough math classes to get out of school so let's use the brief version here. Not just because both years had teams starting badly at home and getting better in home games as the year went on.įor those reading who have not already been trapped in the Upside Down of baseball stats, think of the Pythag record has pretty much being "what should your record be if it aligned with the total number of runs scored and allowed". One of those teams finished 65-97 and the other finished 56-106 but they're more similar than you'd think. One interesting thing is the Kansas City Royals have had pythag records of 64-98 in back to back seasons. I think quite a few of these things are helpful in understanding the 2023 Kansas City Royals and how things happened the way that they did. Some of the following are things that I'm probably the only one interested in knowing about. Some of the following are things that seemingly come up in Game Threads. As you may have heard, the 2023 Kansas City Royals season has concluded and in pretty much every way that matters, it was an awful season.īut there's still several things to talk about.
