Most PA without a Hit

Posted by Chris J. on September 8, 2007

What's the most PA any has had in a single season without getting a hit?  Any readers of the ol' Baseball Hall of Shame books should know the answer - it's Bob Buhl in 1958.  It's never been seriously threatened.

For position players, the mark is 35 by Hal Finney, a defensive replacement middle infielder for the 1936 Pirates.  Please note David Ortiz is #4 on that list.

Most PA in a career without a hit?  For position players it's Larry Littleton with 27.  For pitchers, it's Randy Tate with 47.
