This is a list of Major League Baseball hit records. Bolded names mean the player is still active and playing.

3,000 career hits

Cap Anson reached 3,000 hits on July 18, 1897. He was the first, and, as of 2022, the oldest player to reach the mark.

In 1927, Ty Cobb became the first player to collect 4,000 hits. He remains the youngest player to reach 3,000 hits, doing so at the age of 34. He also achieved 3,000 hits in the fewest games played (2,135).

Where possible, hitting streaks that extend between seasons are broken down to show when the hits occurred. For example, Keeler's (1, 44) indicates 1 hit in 1896, and 44 in 1897.[i]

This list omits Denny Lyons of the 1887 American Association Philadelphia Athletics, who had a 52-game hitting streak.[77] In 1887, the major leagues adopted a new rule which counted walks as hits, a rule which was dropped after that season. Lyons hit in 52 consecutive games that season, but his streak included two games (#22 and #44) in which his only "hits" were walks. In 1968, MLB ruled that walks in 1887 would not be counted as hits, so Lyons' streak was no longer recognized, though it still appears on some lists. In 2000, Major League Baseball reversed its 1968 decision, ruling that the statistics which were recognized in each year's official records should stand, even in cases where they were later proven incorrect. Paradoxically, the ruling affects only hit totals for the year; the batting champion for the year is not recognized as the all-time leader despite having the highest single-season average under the ruling, and Lyons' hitting streak is not recognized.

Notes

  1. Due to betting on games while managing an MLB team, Pete Rose received a lifetime ban from baseball and only became eligible for selection to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2025 when the ban was lifted.[1]
  2. MLB.com and the Hall of Fame credit Cobb with 4,191 hits,[3][4] while Baseball-Reference lists 4,189; the discrepancy is due to a double-counted 1910 game in which Cobb was credited with 2 hits, which was first discovered in 1978 and reported on in 1981.[5][6][7]
  3. MLB.com credits Lajoie with 3,252 hits,[20] while Baseball-Reference lists 3,243.[21] The discrepancy is due to a transcription error for Lajoie's hit total in 1901, 229, which until 1954 was inaccurately recorded as 220.[22]
  4. Biggio was thrown out trying to stretch his single into a double.[34]
  5. 1 2 Two major factors have confused Anson's precise hit total. First, a rule which existed for only the 1887 MLB season counted walks as hits.[40] Additionally, Anson played five seasons in the National Association (NA), which is not always recognized as an official "major league".[41][42] MLB.com credits Anson with 3,011 career hits, not including his time in the NA or his walks in 1887.[43] Baseball-Reference credits him with 3,435 hits, including his time in the NA, not including his walks in 1887, and crediting him with one more hit than MLB.com for his hit total in 1894.[44] The Hall of Fame shows 3,081 hits for Anson, including his walks in 1887 (for a total of 224 hits that season) but not including NA playing time.[45] Elias Sports Bureau also credits him with 3,081 hits.[46] The date listed in this article comes from MLB.com, using their hit totals for Anson.
  6. While Ichiro Suzuki had played professionally in Japan, this mark is considered the Major League Baseball record for rookies, as this was his first year in Major League Baseball.
  7. After leading the American League in 1942, Pesky missed the next three full seasons serving in World War II. As 1942 was his rookie season, he is the only player to lead his league in hits for his first three seasons.
  8. After leading the National League in 1944, Musial missed the next season serving in World War II.
  9. Major League Baseball recognizes two hitting streak records: Longest hitting streak in one season, and longest hitting streak over multiple seasons (e.g. Rollins 2005–2006).[76] Keeler's, Sisler's, and Rollins' streaks are listed as 44, 34, and 36 games when discussing single-season streaks, and 45, 35, and 38 games when discussing multiple-season streaks.

  11. Second game of a double header
  12. 22 inning game
  13. 14 inning game
