Most hits in a season

In baseball, a hit (denoted by H) is credited to a batter when the batter safely reaches first base after hitting the ball into fair territory, without the benefit of an error or a fielder’s choice.
To receive credit for a hit, the batter must reach first base before any fielder can either tag him with the ball, throw to another player protecting the base before him, or tag first base with his glove on a fly ball. Hits are also awarded when a batter hits a sacrifice fly or bunt or reaches on an error. A hit for a baserunner is recorded as a run.
Joe DiMaggio holds the record for most hits in a season with 361 in 1941.

Most home runs in a season

In baseball, the home run is the most exciting play. It’s also the most important stat in the game, as it’s the one that directly contributes to runs scored. The record for most home runs in a season is 73, set by Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants in 2001.

Bonds broke Mark McGwire’s single-season record of 70 home runs, which was set in 1998. McGwire, Bonds and Sammy Sosa (66 HRs in 1998) engaged in a historic home run race that captivated the nation and helped revive interest in baseball after the 1994 strike.

There have been other great home run hitters in baseball history, including Babe Ruth (60 HRs in 1927), Roger Maris (61 HRs in 1961) and Hank Aaron (755 HRs career). But there’s no doubt that Bonds is the king of the long ball.

Most strikeouts in a season

In 2001, Randy Johnson of the Arizona Diamondbacks set the all-time record for most strikeouts in a season with 372. He broke the previous record of 363, which was set by Nolan Ryan in 1973.

Best Records in Baseball

It’s a question that every baseball fan has asked at one point or another: who’s got the best record in baseball? The answer, of course, is that it depends on how you measure it.

Most wins in a season

The team with the most wins in a season is the Seattle Mariners, who won 116 games in 2001. The New York Yankees have the second-most wins in a season, with 114 victories in 1998.

Most losses in a season

The following is a list of teams by win-loss record in Major League Baseball history. As of the end of the 2019 Major League Baseball season, 26 teams have won at least 100 games in a season, while 27 have lost at least 100 games in a season.

In baseball statistics, a team’s win-loss record (W-L record) is the number of wins (denoted “W”) divided by the sum of the team’s wins and losses (denoted “L”). Win percentage is equal to wins divided by the total number of decisions. Loss percentage is equal to losses divided by the total number of decision. A teams winning percentage is calculated as follows:
Winning Percentage = W / (W + L)

-Baltimore Orioles, 1961: 47-115, .290
-Boston Braves, 1935: 38-115, .248
– Cincinnati Reds,1982:61-101 , .377
– Detroit Tigers,2003:43-119 , .265

The record for the most losses in a season is held by the 1962 New York Mets, who finished with a 40–120 record (.250).

Most saves in a season

In baseball, the statistical save indicates that the relief pitcher achieved the final out of a game while preserving his team’s lead. A pitcher cannot record a save unless he is the closing pitcher; pitchers in other roles can receive credit for a win. The credit for the save is given to the pitcher who enters the game in a save situation, regardless of whether he finishes the game, records an out, or gets charged with blown save or a loss.

The most saves in a season is 53, set by Francisco Rodriguez of the Anaheim Angels in 2008.

Conclusion

In baseball, as in life, it’s important to know when to hold ’em and when to fold ’em. The Philadelphia Phillies have had the best record in baseball over the past 10 years, but they’ve only made it to the World Series once, and they lost. The San Francisco Giants have had the worst record in baseball over the past 10 years, but they’ve won three World Series titles during that time. So… who’s got the best record in baseball? It all depends on how you define “best.”
