Fifty Best Individual Seasons by Reds Hitters

Ranked by Absolute Average, or ABSO (Average of Batting, Slugging, and On-Base)

Since 1900, there have been exactly fifty individual Reds seasons with an absolute average of .400 or better in at least 500 plate appearances. The table below contains all the stats necessary to to calculate batting, slugging, and on-base averages, allowing for the highest degree of precision in calculating absolute average, and resulting in no ties, even where the ABSOs shown are the same. A bold stat indicates a league high for that season. A bold year indicates an MVP year, except that bold italics indicate Rookie of the Year. A bold name indicates the player is a Hall of Famer.
