Offense was down a bit in week 21 as the majors produced 9.06 runs per game. Despite home run onslaughts by Giancarlo Stanton and Rhys Hoskins, the majors produced 2.7 HR per game compared to 2.8 HR per game the week before. It was a big strikeout week, as the games averaged 17.0 K per game, the third week this season Ks rose that high.
Year over year, (all stats through 21 weeks in each season), 2017 continues to lead 2016 in runs per game 9.32 to 8.98. Home runs and walks continue to account for the difference, HR up 0.2 per game, walks up 0.3 per game. Strikeouts are up 0.5 per games, and not surprisingly, other hits are down 0.25 per game. It’s much more of a three-true outcomes game this season, and MLB may wish to figure out a way to move away from that.
