Hits in Baseball: Types, Records, and Their Impact on the Game

In the world of baseball, few achievements are as celebrated as the hit. Whether it’s a single, double, triple, or home run, each hit brings players closer to legendary status.

The all-time leader in Major League Baseball hits, Pete Rose, boasts an astounding 4,256 hits, a record that has stood the test of time.

But the story of hits in baseball isn’t confined to just one league. Players like Ichiro Suzuki have made their mark across multiple professional leagues, combining 3,089 Major League hits with 1,278 hits in Nippon Professional Baseball for a staggering total of 4,367.
