1885 Season Leaders

Top performers from the 1885 baseball season. Click column headers to sort.

These are the 1885 Major League Baseball season leaders in batting and pitching. Harry Stovey led with 13 home runs, Cap Anson led with 108 RBI, and Pete Browning led with 174 hits. Batting leaders require at least 200 at bats and pitching leaders at least 50 innings pitched, which is why a part-season line does not appear here.

AVG (Batting Average):
Hits divided by at bats. .300 is the traditional mark of an excellent hitter.
HR (Home Runs):
Hits on which the batter circled the bases and scored, almost always by clearing the outfield fence.
RBI (Runs Batted In):
Runs that scored as a direct result of a batter's plate appearance.
ERA (Earned Run Average):
Earned runs allowed per nine innings pitched: (ER × 9) ÷ IP. The primary measure of pitching effectiveness.
