Through Saturday’s games, the league wOBA for the month was .301. This is the 2nd lowest of the 135 months in the dataset, starting from March/April 2002. The lowest was April 2022, just after the lockout, with a MLB wOBA of .298.
Note: FanGraphs combines March & April data into one split; I labeled this « April ». It does the same with Sept & Oct; I labeled this split « September. »

Yeah, I keep seeing no-hitter alert on MLB app every other 4-5 days.

So what did MLB do to the balls now?

Damn pitchers. Why don’t they just throw softer? Are they stupid?

To add to the craziness of the stat, 70% of the offense this month has been against Dodgers’ pitching.

quick, put more ghost runners on base, juice the balls, and speed up the clocks.

I still think David Peterson and his 1.354 WHIP deserve a place amongst the top pitchers
