1888 Season Leaders

Top performers from the 1888 baseball season. Click column headers to sort.

These are the 1888 Major League Baseball season leaders in batting and pitching. Jimmy Ryan led with 16 home runs, John Reilly led with 103 RBI, and Jimmy Ryan led with 182 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.
