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. | ||

| WAR: Wins above replacement — wins the player added over a freely available fill-in. | RC: Runs created — an estimate of how many runs the batter's hitting produced. | RC/27: Runs a lineup of this batter would score in a full game of 27 outs. | ISOP: Isolated power: slugging minus batting average, so only extra bases count. | SECA: Secondary average: bases from walks, steals and extra-base hits, per at-bat. | BB/K: Walks for every strikeout, a measure of plate discipline. | AB/HR: At-bats per home run — lower means more power. | GO/FO: Ground-ball outs for every fly-ball out. | ||
