Who are the 10 best hitters in baseball? Top 5 from each league?

Question

Consider batting average, rbi's, home runs, O.B.P., O.P.S., slugging %, "clutchness", batting big in big situations, everything together. Also, which stat is most important? Which above all of the others indicates a truly great hitter? For my money, it's ops. But i could be wrong. Who are your top 5 from each league, and why?

Answer 1

AL.

Joe Mauer (The guy can flat out hit.)

Josh Hamilton (Look at his stats)

Ichiro (What more can I say)

Carlos Quentin (Power and Contact will be great one day)

Ian Kinsler (I think he has the chance to be an all star every year)

NL.

Albert Pujols (Tears the ball)

Matt Holliday (Power with contact)

Chipper Jones (Future HOF cause of his hitting)

Lance Berkman (This guy puts out great power)

Hanley Ramirez (Can do everything)

Answer 2

AL

1. Joe Mauer (I just love his approach)

2. Alex Rodriguez

3. Josh Hamilton

4. Ichiro Suzuki

5. Kevin Youkilis

NL

1. Albert Pujols (Best in MLB)

2. Chipper Jones

3. Matt Holliday

4. Lance Berkman

5. Alfonso Soriano

Answer 3

NL

Matt Holliday-Been batting .340 for like two years now

Albert Pujols-.330 year in, year out aint hard for this hitter

David Wright-All around star

Lance Berkman-.Great .330+ hitter

Carlos Lee-Mr. RBI Machine, 100 RBI every year it seems and .300 to boot.

And I agree I think OPS is very important.  On base plus how many bases are each hit.  You could pound singles only all the time, but home run hitters i will of course be more prized.

AL

Alex Rodriguez-Home run power and better than .310

Josh Hamilton-Can hit for decent avg and power, RBI magnet

David Ortiz-Power/Avg hitter, clutch too

Ichiro Suzuki-clutch, great speed helps pound out infield hits.  200+ hits in every year in his MLB career

Ian Kinsler-Up and coming, i know, but he can hit for avg. and provide some power.

Answer 4

AL:

Ichiro (if anybody can hit .400 its this guy)

Joe Mauer (Scouts say he has the Purest Swing they've seen in a long time)

A-Rod

Josh Hamilton

Vlad Guerrero (I don't like him, but he can hit the ball 2 ft. out of the strike zone)

NL:

Lance Berkman (this guy has good swing)

Albert Pujols

Ryan Braun

David Wright

Manny Ramirez

Answer 6

go to fox sports .com type stats MLB they have everything  in there you need  

Answer 7

I can't really name the best hitters in both leagues, but in my opinion two of the most underrated players in either leagues are Aubrey Huff and Nick Markakis of the Orioles. Huff has over 20 home runs and could have more, and can hit it anywhere in the park. Markakis has just under 20 home runs, but is the most consistent hitter i have seen in my life. He is currently batting over .300, and could be considered the most reliable hitter in the game today.
