About one-fifth of the way into the 2022 Major League Baseball season, we're outgrowing small sample sizes and the division standings are beginning to take shape.
Offense is down across baseball, with the league-wide .235 average the lowest in history and .683 OPS (on-base plus slugging) the worst since 1971, providing unexpected statistical outputs both positive and negative.
With offense suppressed, it's been a good time for pitchers with the league-wide 3.84 ERA the second-lowest since 1992 and 1.25 WHIP the best since 1967.
