Tracking The Royals Offense May 9, 2022

The Royals caught a break last week – or maybe they didn’t, who can say – having two games rained out so the team was a provided with an opportunity to rest and reset the season’s early season struggles on offense.

That did not happen.

A 2-4 week was cemented by three games of scoring two runs or fewer, and being shutout in two of them. The Royals are 28th in baseball slugging percentage and we 27th in wRC+.

For the season the Royals remain in last place in runs scored, and this week dropped three spots to 28th in walks despite an 11-walk game and 23-walk series the previous week.

The record is 9-17
