Baseball Almanac is pleased to present a record book for leaving baserunners left on base — including left on base by a team marks, single season left on base marks and game related left on base records.

"It's like a dog who has never had table scraps. I really don't know what it (the playoffs) tastes like. I would love to get a taste of the playoffs. I hope I will get to, and I hope it's this year. I am not on the three-year or four-year plan to get to there. I am on a one-year plan." - Todd Helton in Baseball Digest (May 2004)

Most Runners Left on Base By A Player In A Game (Any Length)

Why is there no listing for players leaving men on base over the course of a career or a single season? Because the data / research is simply not yet available.

The most runners left on base during a nine-inning shutout is sixteen. It has occurred twice in Major League history: May 24, 1994, when Philadelphia shut out St. Louis (4-0), and May 7, 1998, when Toronto shutout Seattle (6-0).

The fewest runners left on base during a nine-inning game? Zero —of course— and it has been accomplished many times in both the American & National League.
