Texas Rangers struggle with offense and baserunning efficiency in 2026

The Texas Rangers continue to face challenges at the plate, posting a team OPS+ of 108 this season but scoring just 4.07 runs per game, ranking 23rd in the league. Despite being average to slightly above average in several offensive metrics, the team has fallen short due to inefficiencies in baserunning, particularly in advancing bases on hits. Currently, they lead the league with the fewest successful attempts of going from first to third on singles, achieving this only 20% of the time. If they matched the league average, it could lead to a significant increase in runs scored.
