As the 2025 Major League Baseball season progresses, three teams have already surpassed the 300 runs scored mark. Meanwhile, five other teams are lagging significantly behind, potentially still a week away from reaching the 200 run threshold. The Chicago Cubs are standing out offensively, averaging exactly 6.0 runs per game, which is more than double the total of their NL Central rivals, the Pittsburgh Pirates, who are managing just 2.98 runs per game. This disparity raises questions about the overall performance and competition level within the league.

In this analysis, we take a broader look at the offensive abilities of all 30 MLB teams, rather than just focusing on the nine players with the highest plate appearances. An inclusive approach using full-season team statistics leads to a comprehensive overview of each team's performance thus far. Each team will be summarized in a nine-word format, along with identifying a most valuable player (MVP) and a least valuable player (LVP) based on full-team statistics rather than peak performances.

Starting with the Colorado Rockies, Jordan Beck leads the team with eight home runs and an OPS of .865, having several multi-home run games this season. In stark contrast, Kris Bryant's struggles have continued, with negative contributions to the team while recovering from a back injury. The Pittsburgh Pirates, underperforming consistently, feature Oneil Cruz as their MVP due to his power and speed, though Bryan Reynolds' poor offensive output has placed him in the LVP position. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Royals see Chase Meidroth as a bright spot, while Andrew Vaughn's struggles at the plate have sent him back to the minor leagues.
