It’s Abreu’s fifth 100-RBI season in his first six Major League seasons. He’s one of just 13 players with at least five 100-RBI seasons within his first six seasons, and one of just two White Sox players to do so, joiningThomas. In the Nationals’ first year without Bryce Harper, Rendon helped pave the way to a postseason appearance for Washington.
He and Verlander both reached the 300-strikeout mark, becoming just the second pair of teammates to do so in MLB history (Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling for the 2002 D-backs). But Cole finished 26 strikeouts ahead of Verlander's even 300, including an MLB-high 21 games with double-digit whiffs. Cole closed the regular season with an MLB record nine consecutive 10-strikeout performances. Who has the Major League record for most consecutive seasons leading the league in home runs?
Teams With Most 30 Home Run Hitters
Strasburg had a career year in several categories, setting personal bests in wins, innings pitched and strikeouts . Since Statcast began tracking in 2015, no Royals player had ever had more than 48 in a season . Soler’s impressive campaign is the first 40-homer season in Royals history, but that’s not all.
Matt LaPorta is the most recent player to crack the top 10, and that was more than a decade ago. LaPorta was a four-year player who had 20-plus home runs in two of his seasons. LaPorta hit a home run in five straight games between March 24 and April 1, 2007, and three of them were two-home run games. Alonso and Acuña each posted seasons with the most barrels by any player from their respective teams since the stat has been tracked by Statcast. Forty-eight of Alonso’s 53 home runs were barreled, just five shy of the most barreled homers in a year by Giancarlo Stanton in 2017.
Most Consecutive Games With A Home Run
Furniss and Cresse were part of the famous Geauxrilla Ball era at LSU. Both were members of the 1997 CWS champion Tigers team that slugged 188 home runs that season — still an NCAA record — including at least one Tiger bomb in every one of the 70 games they played. Cresse finished his career two behind Furniss on the SEC career home run list.
It’s the third time he’s led the AL in slugging, also doing so in 2017 and '15. The only other Angels player to lead the AL in slugging was Bobby Grich in 1981. Trout’s .645 slugging percentage was the highest by an AL player in a qualified season since Alex Rodriguez slugged .645 in 2007, en route to winning the Most Valuable Player Award. Listed are all Major League Baseball players with 223 or more home runs hit during official regular-season games (i.e., excluding playoffs or exhibition games). Players in bold face are active as of the 2022 Major League Baseball season , with the number in parenthesis designating the number of home runs they have hit during the 2022 season. The last change in the cutoff for the top 300 occurred on September 11, 2022, when Eugenio Suarez hit his 223rd career home run, displacing Jason Bay and Don Mattingly.
Fewest Home Runs in a Season by a Team
Soler became the first Kansas City player to claim the home run title, while his 48 homers are also the most by any Cuban-born player in Major League history.

In the sport of baseball, a home run is a hit in which the batter scores by circling all the bases and reaching home plate in one play, without the benefit of a fielding error. This can be accomplished either by hitting the ball out of play while it is still in fair territory , or by an inside-the-park home run.

The Polar Bear did it all in the home run department in 2019, setting the Mets’ single-season franchise mark, as well as the all-time rookie record. He’s also the first Mets player to take home the Major League home run title. Entering 2019, the Mets were one of nine teams to never have a player lead the Majors in home runs.
DeGrom finished strong in his quest for a second straight NL Cy Young Award. He led the league in strikeouts for the first time and reached the 250-K mark for a second consecutive season, to go along with his 2.43 ERA and 204 innings pitched . It was Ryu, not either of his fellow star Dodgers pitchers in Clayton Kershaw or Walker Buehler, who won the 2019 ERA title. Ryu's amazing All-Star season included an MLB-high 10 starts in which he went at least seven innings without allowing an earned run.
This season, however, he went 41-for-44 in save chances, leading the Majors. He’s the first Padres pitcher to lead the NL in saves since Heath Bell in 2009, and the first to lead the Majors in saves since Hall of Famer Trevor Hoffman in 1998.
Two players on the list stand out as big "what ifs." BYU’s Cory Snyder and Virginia Tech’s George Canale both slugged 0.42 home runs per game, tied for second behind Inky’s 0.47. It makes you wonder just how many they could have hit had either come close to the 213 games Incaviglia played. Neither Snyder nor Canale hit less than 21 home runs in their three years of college baseball, with Canale posting a career-high of 29 and Snyder slamming 27 as his best mark.
Anderson hit .381 in September en route to leading the Majors in batting average. He’s the first White Sox player to win a batting title since Frank Thomas in 1997 and the second White Sox player to lead the Majors in hitting, joining Luke Appling in '36. Anderson’s 15 walks are the fewest by any player to win a batting title, just edging out Zack Wheat, who walked 16 times in '18. Trout’s .645 slugging percentage was the highest of his career.
