Mentioned in last night's telecast batting average in MLB is .245. In 1993 MLB batting average was .265.
Seeing Ohtani and Judge chasing all-time records, I decided to dig a little deeper. I found power has increased. Back in '93, MLB hit 4,000 homeruns. It's up almost 50% to 5,800 last season. The 2024 season not complete yet.
