[edit] Category Details

  • Hitting rate records are based on the current major league standard, set in 1957, of 3.1 plate appearances per team game. According to the standard, a player with less than the minimum may still lead in a rate category if the appropriate number of plate appearances are added to that player's total to bring it to the league minimum and that player still leads the league. For example, if Joe Hitter's team played 100 games, Joe must have a minimum of 310 plate appearances to be considered for a rate stat.
  • Steal Percentage will be based on a minimum of 20 attempts.
  • Pitching rate records, except for pitchers' winning percentage, are based on the major league standard of one inning pitched per team game. If Johnny Pitcher's team played 154 games, Johnny must have a minimum of 154 innings pitched to be considered for a rate stat.
  • Pitchers' Winning Percentage is based on the number of team games divided by twelve. So, if Johnny Pitcher's team played 162 games, Johnny must have a minimum of 13.5 decisions (13 wouldn't count, 14 would) to be considered. Decisions are wins and losses.

[edit] Footnotes

  1. ↑  Ichiro's .350 led the AL.
  2. ↑  Ichiro's 242 hits led the AL and set the major league record for hits in a season by a rookie.
  3. ↑  McGwire's .618 led the AL and set the AL record for highest slugging percentage in a season by a rookie.
  4. ↑  Oliva's 374 total bases led the AL in 1964
  5. ↑  Carbo's actual OBP was .452 in 467 plate appearances. As Cincinnati played 162 games in 1970, Carbo's OBP must be factored using 502 PA. Thus the .420 net OBP.
  6. ↑  Ichiro's 192 singles led the AL.
  7. ↑  Lynn's 47 doubles led the AL.
  8. ↑  Samuel tied Ryne Sandberg for the NL lead in triples.
  9. ↑  McGwire's 49 HR led the AL and set the major league record for most HR in a season by a rookie.
  10. ↑  Morgan's 97 BB led the NL.
  11. ↑  Ozzie's 28 sac. hits led the NL.
  12. ↑  Willie's 13 sac. flies led the NL.
  13. ↑  Pete's 185 strikeouts led the AL and broke the record for strikeouts in a season by a rookie previously held by Reggie Jackson.
  14. ↑  Coleman's 110 steals also set the major league record for stolen bases in a season by a rookie.
  15. ↑  Baylor stole 24 bases in 26 attempts.
  16. ↑  Raines stole 71 bases in 88 games as compared with Coleman's 110 SB, done in 151 games. At Raines' pace, he would have stolen 122 bases in 151 games. With Montreal's 1981 season shortened to 108 games, Raines did not have a chance at the major league record. However, given the percentage of team games he played, Raines may have played in 44 more games if the full season had been played out. There is a real possibility that, given a full season, Raines would have seen at least 132 games and at his steal rate would have swiped 106 bases. In 1981 that would have set the rookie stolen base record which Coleman would have broken in 1985 anyway.
  17. ↑  Nagy's win percentage led the AL.
  18. ↑  Gooden's 276 strikeouts led the NL and set the major league record for strikeouts in a season by a rookie.
  19. ↑  Wood's 12.58 K/9 ratio led all Major League pitchers and is the record for highest K/9 ration in a season by a rookie. Wood's 12.58 is the third best season mark of all-time and is the only one in the top 10 not posted by Randy Johnson or Pedro Martinez.
  20. ↑  Fidrych's 24 complete games led the AL.
  21. ↑  Valenzuela's 8 shutouts led the NL.
  22. ↑  Hughes' 0.954 WHIP led the NL.
  23. ↑  Vande Berg's 78 games led the AL.
  24. ↑  Sasaki's 37 saves led the AL and set the major league record for saves in a season by a rookie.
  25. ↑  Garvin's 33 HR's allowed led the AL.
  26. ↑  Morton's 125 walks allowed led the NL.
