Single Season Leaders for Strikeout Percentage in the National League

Each of the following players is a single season leader in strikeout percentage, meaning they each have played in at least a hundred regular season games, each has had at least a hundred at-bats (to ensure we get hitters & not pitchers), and each has struck out less often per at-bat than any other player in history.

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the top one-hundred (100) all-time single season leaders in National League strikeout percentage along with raw percentages to further clarify the one-hundred (100) greatest strike to at-bat ratios. Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season.
"Coroner John O'Connell announced that an inquest would be held tomorrow in the death of Charles J. Hollocher, former captain and shortstop of the Chicago Cubs, whose body, with a bullet wound in the neck, was found lying beside his automobile here early today." - New York Times Obituary (08/15/1940)

Current Through 2013 Season


Did you know that Charlie Hollocher, even during his first complete season, never struck out more than thirty (30) times during a season? Did you know his seven (7) year total is less than most modern player's single season total?

The code to write the single season strikeout percentage 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 strikeout percentage was set in 1932 by Joe Sewell of the Cleveland Indians. The National League single season record for strikeout percentage is on this page. Is either the Career Leader for Strikeout Percentage?
