June 26, 2025 after about 80 games or half a season.
American League Batting Year-by-Year Averages
https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/bat.shtml
Runs:
2025: 4.23
2022: 4.22
Virtually identical.
This with new rules in recent years that increased the size of the bases and limit the fielding shift.
1996: 5.39
1972: 3.47
1968: 3.41
1961: 4.53 Maris hit 61 Home Runs
1950: 5.04
More runs are more fun.
Strike Outs per team per game are greater than 8 each year since 2017. SO:
2025: 8.38 (divided by 2 = 4.19)
1950: 3.67 (times 2 = 7.34)
That's entertainment?
