In The Lab: An Historical Look at the Astros Offense

Story byScott BarzillaWed, January 14, 2026 at 2:53 PM UTC·5 min readOften, the biggest problem with complex statistics is that there is not a good enough frame of reference. I always try to include league average references for the new metrics that we come up with, but league average is not the only frame of reference available. For many Astros fans, they want to know why the Astros offense is worse than previous offenses and league average data really doesn’t impact that.

Key Highlights

  • Furthermore, going back in time will allow us to test secondary average and real offensive value to see if it is strongly correlated with runs scored. In order to do that, we are looking at the Astros statistics for 2015 through 2025 while excluding 2020.
  • We are doing that because they only played 60 games, so the runs scored column won’t tell us much on its own.
  • It is always important to be upfront about our limitations.
  • We are not looking at league norms for these statistics.
  • Some seasons see more run scoring overall than others.
