The A’s will set a new franchise low in batting average — and could in on-base percentage, too.
The precipitous drop in batting average matches up with the league, with the .243 league-wide average currently the fourth-worst in the modern era. Many teams have been willing to sacrifice getting singles and doubles and strikeouts to try and hit home runs, which would be reflected in OPS .
And while the A’s won’t top 2017’s 1,491 strikeouts in a single season, 1,371 is currently fourth and could shoot into third or even second by the season’s final out on Wednesday. Even at 102 losses, it won’t be enough to set a franchise or even Oakland record for most in a season. But even in those years, the A’s had higher batting averages than this year’s team — by more than 20 points .
