The 2001 Texas Rangers season was the 41st of the Texas Rangers franchise overall, their 30th in Arlington as the Rangers, and their 8th season at The Ballpark in Arlington. The Rangers finished fourth in the American League West with a record of 73 wins and 89 losses. Despite the team's batting leading the league in home runs and finishing second in on-base percentage and OPS, the team's pitching was historically poor; the team combined for an ERA of 5.71 (a franchise-worst mark), and led the league in hits allowed, earned runs surrendered, and total runs surrendered. Their 913 earned runs allowed would also be a franchise-worst, and out of all pitchers that recorded at least 75 innings, none had an ERA below 4.45.
