In 2015 Royals were 7th in runs scored - had the fewest batting Ks - 2nd in batting average - 2nd in hits - 10th in OPS - tied for 9th in OBP - 7th in RBIs If you look at just the AL they were 4.47 runs per game (6th in that league). AL average was 4.39 Weird team - they were last in the AL in walks, fewest K's, 3rd in the league in doubles, 2nd last in HRs, 2nd in the league in stolen bases. So they didn't hit home runs, didn't strike out, didn't walk, hit a ton of singles and doubles and then stole bases. Regardless, I think we can agree that offense was not their calling card. They led the AL in wins above average for relief pitchers (by quite a wide margin over 2nd place)
