Current Through 2013 Season


Take a very close look at the year column in the single season leaders for outs in the American League. Did you know that there are absolutely zero players from the period covering 1901 through 1955?

The code to write the single season outs 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 National League single season record for outs was set in 1980 by Omar Moreno of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The American League single season record for outs is on this page. Is either the Career Leader for Outs?
