MLB Hits Leader Predictions

With reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge missing over a week of play due to injury, there is now a new leader for the most Hits in the league as the Toronto Blue Jays Bo Bichette possesses a 10 Hit lead for first as of writing. His bat has been red hot as of late as Bichette has generated at least one Hit in his last six games. Bichette can ill-afford to fall into a slump though as there are plenty of productive batters who are hot on his trail.

Speaking of Aaron Judge, the New York Yankees star slugger underwhelmed in his first game back from injury as he was held without a Hit in three plate appearances. Luckily for Judge, he has shown he can quickly close the gap between him and Bichette for first as he still leads the league in Batting Average, Slugger Percentage, and in OPS. If you bet on Judge earlier in the year, then consider hedging your bet on Bichette if the market opens back up.

MLB Hits Leader - My Pick

Freddie Freeman (+2000) at BetMGM

After struggling to make contact at a consistent rate, Freddie Freeman has rounded back into dominant form as the former total Hits leader has generated a Hit in 12 of his last 14 games. Unfortunately for Freeman, time is not on his side as he is still 28 Hits back from first with less than 60 games remaining in the regular season. Barring a miracle, expect Freeman to fall short as his previous injury and cold stretch of play forced him to miss too much time.

A player's availability is also a massive factor to consider when making a season long wager as you want the player you bet on to make as many appearances at the plate as possible to maximize on his chances of winning. Avoid betting on players who have a history of missing some time every year, as well as players who are expected to miss the start of this season.

MLB Hits Leader History

The MLB Hits leader title has seen plenty of stars hoist the award over the past few years with the Kansas City Royals Bobby Witt Jr the latest to claim the prestigious hitters title. While Home Runs hog the spotlight, being able to make contact at a consistent rate is more vital than ever before as pitchers continue to add more tools to their disposal to make life harder on batters.

Should Witt Jr carry over his momentum into this season and win his second straight award, then he would be the first player to do so since Trea Turner did it in 2020-2021. As for who has the most Hits in a regular season, Ichiro Suzuki holds the record after generating 262 Hits in his 2004 campaign.
