Single Season Leaders for Runs Produced in the American League

Runs produced is a SABERmetric statistic that describe a hitter's overall effectiveness by measuring his ability to produce runs for team either by scoring them himself or driving them in at the plate. Runs produced was created during the 1970's and the way it is calculated is adding runs to runs batted in then subtracting home runs.

The players listed below are Baseball Almanac's top one-hundred American League single season runs produced leaders. Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season.
"He excelled in the post-season, winning six World Championships while batting cleanup. He holds the career record for most grand slams and he was the first player to have his uniform number retired. His career and life ended tragically when he was struck with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a disease which today bear's his name." - TheBaseballPage.com (Lou Gehrig Page)

Did you know that Lou Gehrig did not believe he was a true "Iron Man" as he was often called? Read this excerpt from a May 1937 issue of The Sporting News, "This 'Iron Man' stuff is bunk. It is true that I have considerable physical strength, but that isn't the answer. There have been many powerful players in baseball who weren't in there every day. It wasn't exceptional strength in my case, nor even exceptional endurance. It was the determination to be in there and to hustle every minute of the time I was there that has made that record a reality."

The code to write the single season runs produced 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 runs produced was set in 1930 by Chuck Klein of the Philadelphia Phillies. The American League single season record for runs produced is on this page. Is either the Career Leader for Runs Produced?
