These are the 1934 Major League Baseball season leaders in batting and pitching. Lou Gehrig led with 49 home runs, Lou Gehrig led with 165 RBI, and Paul Waner led with 217 hits.

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.
