Every Monday Baseball Musings compares offense of the current season to the previous season through the same number of full weeks. Through 14 full weeks the 2025 averages 8.73 runs per game compared to 8.77 runs per game in 2024. This result keeps holding, as all components of offense are up in 2025, with more home runs, walks, and hits, a higher BABIP and a lower K rate. I do notice that most of the increase in the walk rate came from early in the season. Walks came in around 6.2-6.3 per game over the last ten weeks, where they are at 6.4 per game for the season.

Last week the league scored 8.81 runs per game, pretty much right on average. It was a good home run week at 2.4 per game, and strikeouts are up at 16.8 per game compared to 16.5 per game overall. So there is a bit more swinging for the fences.
