Progressive Leaders & Records for Double Plays Grounded Into

Baseball Leaders & Baseball Records: Single-Season Career Active Progressive Year-by-Year Top-Tens Yearly League

+ - Indicates Hall of Famer. Bold indicates active player.

Statistic Description: Double Plays Grounded Into Only includes standard 6-4-3, 4-3, etc. double plays. First tracked in 1933. For gamelogs only in seasons we have play-by-play, we include triple plays as well. All official seasonal totals do not include GITP's.

This table lists the career, single-season, active, yearly (meaning perfomances solely from that year) leaders following each season of Major League Baseball. Note that a player is considered active between the first and last season of their career. Entries under Single-Season from 1871-1875 are not carried forward past 1875. Entries under Career and Active do include totals from the 1871-1875 seasons.
