Current Through 2013 Season

Did you know that there have been only two (2) instances in the National League where a player has grounded into a double play at least thirty (30) times? By comparison there have been twelve (12) by eleven (11) players in the American League.

The code to write the single season grounding into double plays league splits was developed in 2005, launched during 2006 and made possible by your support — please continue helping us create these kinds of pages by supporting our site.

The American League single season record for grounding into double plays was set in 1984 by Jim Rice of the Boston Red Sox. The National League single season record for grounding into double plays is on this page. Is either the Career Leader for Games Played?
