A sign of longevity, some good clutch hitting skills, and a team that can get on base in scoring position in front of you is what you can determine with this single season sacrifice hits leader board.

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the top one-hundred (100) all-time single season leaders in National League sacrifice hits. Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season.

"(Jimmy) Sheckard was one of a handful of Pennsylvania Dutch to play in the majors. Though chiefly remembered for his years with the Cubs, for whom he played in four World Series, Sheckard had his best years with Brooklyn." - Sportswriter Art Ahrens on BaseballLibrary.com (Jimmy Scheckard Page)

Did you know that the National League rookie with the most sacrifice hits in a single season is Ozzie Smith who had thirty-one (31) with San Diego in one-hundred fifty-nine (159) games played during the 1978 season?

The code to write the single season sacrifice hits 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 sacrifice hits was set in 1917 by Ray Chapman of the Cleveland Indians. The National League single season record for sacrifice hits is on this page. Is either the Career Leader for Sacrifice Hits?
