Let’s talk about the disappointing 2024 Texas Rangers’ offense, shall we?
The Rangers, as a team, are slashing .242/.313/.384 this year, good for a 98 OPS+.
The Rangers, as a team, slashed .263/.337/.452 in 2023, good for a 115 OPS+.
That’s a pretty substantial drop. And while offense is down league-wide this year, the Rangers’ offensive decline is much greater than just what can be blamed on the league-wide decrease. One can see that reflected in the team OPS+ going from well above average to below average, as well as the fact that the team has gone from being 1st in the A.
