In baseball, a run batted in (RBI) is awarded to a batter for each runner who scores as a direct result of the batter's action, including a hit, fielder's choice, sacrifice fly, or a walk or hit by pitch with the bases loaded.[2] A batter is also awarded an RBI for scoring himself upon hitting a home run.[2] However, if a run scores because of an error that the defense commits on a batted ball, the batter does not (in most cases) receive an RBI; the exception is when the official scorer deems the run would've scored with or without an error, such as when an error occurs on a fielder's choice.[3]

In Major League Baseball (MLB), a player in each league[a] wins the "RBI crown"[6] or "RBI title"[7][8] each season by hitting the most runs batted in that year. The first RBI champion in the National League (NL) was Deacon White; in the league's inaugural 1876 season, White hit 60 RBIs for the Chicago White Stockings.[9] The American League (AL) was established in 1901, and Hall of Fame second baseman Nap Lajoie led that league with 125 RBIs for the Philadelphia Athletics.[10] Over the course of his 27-season career, Cap Anson led the NL in RBI eight times.[11] Babe Ruth and Honus Wagner have the second- and third-most RBI titles, respectively: Ruth with six, and Wagner with five.[12][13] Several players are tied for the most consecutive seasons led with three: Anson (twice), Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby, Ruth, Joe Medwick, George Foster, and Cecil Fielder. Notably, Matt Holliday won the NL title in 2007 by one RBI over Ryan Howard, only overtaking Howard due to his performance in the 2007 National League Wild Card tie-breaker game.[14] Had Howard won the 2007 title, he would have led the NL in a record four consecutive seasons from 2006 to 2009.[15] The most recent champions are Kyle Tucker in the American League, and Matt Olson in the National League.

Sam Thompson was the first to set a single-season RBI record that stood for more than three seasons, hitting 166 in 1887.[16] Thompson's title that season also represented the widest margin of victory for an RBI champion as he topped the next highest total by 62 RBIs. The single-season mark of 166 stood for over thirty years until Babe Ruth hit 171 in 1921.[16] Ruth's mark was then broken by teammate Lou Gehrig six seasons later in 1927 when Gehrig hit 175 RBI.[16] Finally, Hack Wilson set the current record mark of 191 RBI in 1930 with the Chicago Cubs.[1] The all-time career RBI record holder is Hank Aaron with 2,297, 84 more than Ruth in second place.[17] Aaron led the National League in RBI four times, never consecutively. The 1930 season when Wilson set the record saw four players hit more than 160 RBI: Wilson, Gehrig, Chuck Klein, and Al Simmons.[1] A player has batted in 160 or more runs 21 times, with 14 of these seasons occurring during the 1930s and only twice since 1940.[1] The lowest RBI total to ever lead a major league was 49, by Deacon White in the National League's second season.[15]

Notes

  1. Recognized "major leagues" include the current American and National Leagues and several defunct leagues – the American Association, the Federal League, the Players' League, and the Union Association (however, RBI statistics are not available for the Union Association).[4]. Seven negro league baseball leagues are also recognized as major leagues between 1920 and 1948: Negro National League I (1920–1931); Eastern Colored League (1923–1928); American Negro League (1929); East–West League (1932); Negro Southern League (1932); Negro National League II (1933–1948); and Negro American League (1937–1948). [5]
  2. Inducted into the Hall of Fame as a baseball pioneer/executive, not as a player.
