From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hank Aaron, career leader in runs batted in (RBIs).
This is a list of Major League Baseball players who have compiled 1,000 runs batted in (RBIs). RBIs are usually accumulated when a batter in baseball enables a runner on base (including himself, in the case of a home run ) to score as a result of making contact at-bat (except in certain situations, such as when an error is made on the play or during a double play). A batter is also credited with an RBI if he reaches first base with the bases loaded via a base on balls (walk), being hit by a pitch , or interference.
As of September 2, 2024, Freddie Freeman is the active leader in career RBIs and is 146th overall with 1,226.
MLB's official list does not include RBIs accumulated before 1920 when runs batted in became an official statistic. The list on this page is compiled from Baseball-Reference , which credits RBIs from 1907 to 1919 as recorded by baseball writer and historian Ernest Lanigan . One difference between the lists is that Babe Ruth is ranked third by Baseball Reference, but seventh by MLB, which does not count Ruth's 224 RBI compiled before 1920.[ 1]
