Single Season Leaders for Intentional Bases on Balls in the National League

An intentional base-on-balls is an officially recognized statistic (since 1955) that counts the number of times a batter reaches first base after accepting four intentionally wide pitches outside the strike zone. Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the top one-hundred (100) single season leaders in National League intentional bases on balls. Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season.
"I think Barry Bonds gets intentionally walked too much. I don't mean this as a fan of Bonds, which I am not. Nor do I mean it as a fan of the Giants, which I also am not. I don't even mean it as a general baseball fan, which I actually am. No, I simply mean it as someone interested in strategy and tactics. I think putting Barry Bonds on base nearly once a game is a tactical error, and I also think this can be proven mathematically." - Blog Columnist Martell on BabBlog.com (Should Barry Bonds Be Intentionally Walked, 2004)

Did you know that the difference between the American and National League leaders for intentional bases on balls is eighty seven (87)? Consider now the totals for each respectively: thirty-three (33) and one-hundred twenty (120). Are Willie McCovey, Sammy Sosa & Barry Bonds truly more feared at the plate than their American League counterparts? Tell us on Baseball Fever.

The code to write the single season intentional bases on balls 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 intentional bases on balls was set in 1957 by Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox then tied in 1993 by John Olerud of the Toronto Blue Jays. The National League single season record for intentional bases on balls is on this page. Is either the Career Leader for Intentional Bases on Balls?
