1927 Season Leaders

Top performers from the 1927 baseball season. Click column headers to sort.

These are the 1927 Major League Baseball season leaders in batting and pitching. Babe Ruth led with 60 home runs, Lou Gehrig led with 175 RBI, and Paul Waner led with 237 hits. Batting average, OBP, SLG and OPS list qualified hitters only — 3.1 plate appearances per team game, which is 474 plate appearances at 153 team games; ERA and WHIP require one inning per team game (153 innings). Lines below those thresholds are shown and marked unqualified.

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.
