1941 Season Leaders

Top performers from the 1941 baseball season. Click column headers to sort.

These are the 1941 Major League Baseball season leaders in batting and pitching. Ted Williams led with 37 home runs, Joe DiMaggio led with 125 RBI, and Cecil Travis led with 218 hits. Batting average, OBP, SLG and OPS list qualified hitters only — 3.1 plate appearances per team game, which is 480 plate appearances at 155 team games; ERA and WHIP require one inning per team game (155 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.
