Single Season Leaders for At-Bats

An at-bat is an officially recognized statistic that counts the number of times a batter steps into the batter's box. It does not include times when a batter reaches first base by a bases on balls (walks), being hit by a pitch, any sacrifices, or catcher interference.

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the top one-hundred all-time single-season leaders in Major League at-bats. Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the most recently completed Major League season.
"The players get no respect around here (New York Yankees Clubhouse). They give you money, that's it, not respect." - Don Mattingly (#37 Ranked Overall Single Season At-Bats Leader)

Current Through 2009 Season


On April 17, 1890, Pop Smith of the National League Boston Beaneaters was the first player in Major League history to appear at the plate six (6) times during the same game, yet he did not have a single at bat — he was walked five (5) times and hit by a pitch one (1) time.

Did you know that Jimmie Foxx of the Boston Red Sox was the first and still the only American League player to face a pitcher six (6) times during the same game and not record a single at bat — Double X was walked six (6) times?

Carl Yastrzemski (#3), Ty Cobb (#5) and Eddie Murray (#6) are all in the top ten (10) career all-time at-bats list, yet none of those three (3) hall of fame players appear on this top one-hundred single season chart.
