After two years of quiet, the bats are loud again
View project
The Braves had the best offense in baseball in 2023, with an .845 OPS and 5.85 runs per game. Then it went quiet: .724 in 2024 and .719 in 2025, or about 4.4 runs a game. Through 37 games in 2026 they were back to .802 and 5.7 runs per game. I pulled team batting stats from MLB.com for each season and derived OPS, strikeout rate, walk rate and runs per game for every club to compare year over year.
