About this Dataset

MLB Top 100 Hitters 2004-2024

In this dataset, I gather statistics of the top 50 batters from both the American League and National League, ranked by WAR from highest to lowest, from 2004 to 2024. I also include the awards earned by the players throughout their careers, with the goal of helping fans, researchers, and commentators correlate certain variables or statistics with a specific award.

Selection of the top 1 to 50 of each league in each year is based on the WAR metric, since it measures the total contribution of a player to his team.
