List of Major League Baseball career hit batsmen leaders

October 24, 2023

In baseball, hit by pitch (HBP) is a situation in which a batter or his clothing or equipment (other than his bat) is struck directly by a pitch from the pitcher; the batter is called a hit batsman (HB). A hit batsman is awarded first base, provided that (in the plate umpire's judgment) he made an honest effort to avoid the pitch, although failure to do so is rarely called by an umpire. Being hit by a pitch is often caused by a batter standing too close to, or "crowding", home plate.

Gus Weyhing, the all-time leader in career hit batsmen

This is a list of the top 100 Major League Baseball pitchers who have the most hit batsmen of all time.

Gus Weyhing (277)[1][2] holds the dubious record for most hit batsmen in a career. Chick Fraser (219),[3] Pink Hawley (210),[4] and Walter Johnson (205)[5] are the only other pitchers to hit 200 or more batters in their careers.
