The Rangers had six players (five starters) named to the All-Star Game, a franchise record.^[1] On September 30, they clinched a playoff berth for the first time since 2016 with a win against the Seattle Mariners.^[2]

The 2023 World Series champion Texas Rangers at the White House

Despite leading the American League West for most of the season and finishing with the same record as the rival and defending champion Houston Astros, they finished second due to the Astros owning the tiebreaker as a result of taking the season series. The Rangers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALWCS in a two-game sweep and the Baltimore Orioles in a three-game sweep in the ALDS to advance to the ALCS for the first time since 2011, in which they beat their division and Lone Star Series rival, and defending World Series champions Astros in seven games to claim their first pennant since 2011. They defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks in the fifth game of the World Series to claim their first title in franchise history. The Rangers went 13–4 in the postseason, going 2–4 at home and 11–0 on the road, the most road wins in a postseason in MLB history.^[3][4] With that World Series win, Dallas became a city where each of their major league sports teams has won a championship in the big 4.

The Texas Rangers drew an average home attendance of 31,272 in 81 home games in the 2023 MLB season, the 16th highest in the league. The total attendance was 2,533,062.^[5]

Offseason

On October 21, 2022, the Rangers hired Bruce Bochy to be their manager for the 2023 season.^[6]

Regular season

The Rangers finished the 2022 season 68–94, an improvement on their 2021 record of 60–102. They finished 38 games out of 1st and missed the postseason for the sixth consecutive season.

Rule changes

Pursuant to the CBA, new rule changes were in place for the 2023 season:^[7]

• institution of a pitch clock between pitches;
• limits on pickoff attempts per plate appearance;
• limits on defensive shifts requiring two infielders to be on either side of second and be within the boundary of the infield; and
• larger bases (increased to 18-inch squares);
