1974 Season Leaders

Top performers from the 1974 baseball season. Click column headers to sort.

These are the 1974 Major League Baseball season leaders in batting and pitching. Mike Schmidt led with 36 home runs, Johnny Bench led with 129 RBI, and Rod Carew led with 218 hits. Batting average, OBP, SLG and OPS list qualified hitters only — 3.1 plate appearances per team game, which is 502 plate appearances at 162 team games; ERA and WHIP require one inning per team game (162 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.
