Ranked among MLB players who qualify (PA: 100+ AB; TB, XBH, HBP, IBB: 300+ AB; P/PA: 300+ PA) that season; only the top 50 are shown. How each stat qualifies: glossary.
| PA: Plate appearances — every trip to the plate, walks and sacrifices included. | TB: Total bases — one for a single, four for a home run. | XBH: Extra-base hits: doubles, triples and home runs. | HBP: Times the batter was hit by a pitch and took first base. | IBB: Walks the other team issued on purpose. | GIDP: Times the batter grounded into a double play — lower is better. | P/PA: Pitches the batter saw per trip to the plate. Above 4.0 is a patient hitter. | ||
