Rangers' Offense Plummets, Finishes Last in MLB Runs Scored

The Texas Rangers' offensive struggles have been a key storyline early in the 2025 MLB season, as the team ranks near the bottom of the league in most hitting categories, including batting average, on-base percentage, and runs per game. While the pitching staff has performed well, the offense's inability to convert balls in play into hits, highlighted by a low BABIP and poor walk rate, has hampered their run production. The frustration among Rangers fans was compounded by a recent controversial replay review decision that ended a game against the Dodgers, raising questions about the effectiveness of MLB's replay system. Despite efforts to improve team power, the Rangers' offensive metrics remain below league average, and their expected stats suggest underperformance relative to their quality of contact. These issues have left the team struggling to generate consistent offense and win close games.
