The batting average leaderboard emphasizes that players need a minimum number of at-bats to qualify, preventing those with minimal performance from leading the stats.
In Yankee history, Babe Ruth dominates many offensive rate stats while even lower plate appearances can lead to amusingly high rankings for lesser-known players.
Ruth’s incredible .711 SLG over 9000 PAs far surpasses others; even Matt Carpenter’s .727 SLG over 154 PAs illustrates the disparity in sample size and performance.
Rate stats in baseball reveal that historical figures, like Ruth, don’t need high minimums to dominate leaderboards, highlighting his legendary status in the sport.
