How are most runs driven in? By HR, singles, doubles?

Question

Obviously not every single results in an RBI, but they are so much more common than HR's that in total maybe that is how most runs are driven in.

While I value everyone's opinion, this is the sort of thing where I would like some hard data or if you could cite your source that would be great.

Answer 1

well if want to find out google it or go to mlb.com and try to find it there or wikipedia.

but more runs would be driven offf of doubles because if you got to people on they score pretty much o matter what

hope this helps

Answer 2

You would think in the modern day era with all the power hitters you would have more home runs producing more RBIs, but really, it's the singles. Derek Jeter, in 2006, hit only 14 homers and ended up with 96 RBIs. Even if the 14 homers were grand slams, which we know they weren't, that would only give him 56 RBIs, short 40 of his season total. While that still leaves room for the doubles and triples to have affected his total, it's a safe bet to think the singles produced the most.

Another example is Tommy Herr in 1985. Herr batted in 110 runs only homering 8 times in the season.

Answer 3

mostly off of singles

Answer 4

White Sox score 47% of their runs via Long Ball

Answer 5

I would say HRs because it is an RBI by itself plus you can get as many as 4 RBI's with just 1 swing of the bat.

Answer 6

Singles. Homeruns are a bit more rarer, and doubles comes in 2nd place.
