HIT BY A PITCH TEAM RECORDS

MLB Team Specific Hit by Pitch Records

Teams hitting teams more often than any others. Not the friendliest stat book to be included in and one must wonder how many were intentional when you see eight hitters being struck in a nine inning game. Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the team records for being hit by a pitch.

The Major League records for batters getting hit by pitches, including most hit by pitch in a career, single, and game, are on Baseball Almanac in the Baseball Records section.

Did you know that the former major league / now defunct American Association record for hits by a pitch in a nine inning game is six also, set on April 25, 1887?

The most hit by pitches in an extra inning game occurred on June 16, 1893, during an eleven inning game where six-players were hit by New York when they played against Chicago.
