Yet another Jimmy Rollins personal best

Filed under: Leaders — Sean Forman @ 1:40 pm

Single-season outs leaders

Certainly he was helped by setting the all-time Plate Appearance record, but Jimmy Rollins also cracked the top twenty all-time for outs made in a season, coming in at #20, with a whopping 527 outs used. Rollins has finished in the league’s top ten in outs made every year of his career and returned to the top spot after a couple year hiatus.

Sure, he was helped by all those PA, but Dykstra only produced 468 outs in his historic season. The Phillies could have scored a lot of runs with 59 more outs to play with. Might have won another game or two.

  1. BTW I didn’t write this, I think Sean did.

  2. I’d like there to be more dubious honors listed in the Leader boards - such as:
    *Lowest BA, OBP, SLG, OBS, OBS+, Power/Speed, AB/K, (season (3.1 PA/g) and career)
    *Lowest W/L%, K/9 inn, ERA+
    *Highest ERA, WHIP (season (1 IP/g) and career), AB/HR

  3. Do you think Rollins will get less MVP votes because of his pre-season statement? Or do you think that because his pre-season statement was backed-up, he will get *more* votes?
