This table looks at which qualified MLB hitters score most often after reaching base, excluding home runs.
In other words: After a player reaches base without homering, how often do they eventually come around to score?
Home runs are excluded because the batter automatically scores on a HR, so they don’t represent a true baserunning/scoring opportunity after reaching base.
One important caveat: this stat is heavily context dependent. A player’s R% is influenced not just by their own speed and baserunning ability, but also by lineup spot, teammates hitting behind them, and overall team offensive quality.
My only note for this one: The Dodgers STILL haven't played an extra-inning game this year?
Some notes for these charts:
End of list.
A fun project I've done for the NBA, but wanted to show it off here for MLB. I mapped every U.S. county to its nearest Major League Baseball team by straight-line distance to each ballpark, then used those territories to calculate population, land area, population density, and county totals for every team.
How's your team stack up?
This table is in response to this Reddit post by u/AlchemistTheAlchemy (shoutout to him!). It's known that no two ballparks have the same seating capacity (i.e., Dodger Stadium vs Sutter Health Park).
With that, here's the league sorted by Att% (attendance percentage) for the 2026 season so far. Att% takes the average attendance at each ballpark and divides it by the max capacity available that is listed, thus showing just how full each ballpark gets relative to official listed seating capacity.
Please note: reported attendance is not perfectly standardized across MLB teams. Some stadiums may add on standing room-only tickets on top of the tickets sold towards the "seating" capacity, thus inflating overall numbers. I could not find a way to exclude those numbers and look strictly at seating numbers, so we are left with the attached table.
