Average games a Major League Baseball player appears in at a fielding position per season, 1871-2024, filterable by position.

This calculation returns the average number of games a player appears in at a fielding position in a season, from 1871 to 2024. Each row is one player, one season, one team stint and one position. Across 153,877 such rows, the average is 34.7 games. Add a position filter to get the figure for one position, for example ?position=SS.Outfielders average 49.3 games per season at the position, catchers 43.2, shortstops 39.8, second basemen 35.6, first basemen 33.7, third basemen 33.0 and pitchers 23.3. Players who split time count once at each position they played.

Average Player Appearances by Position

Average runs batted in (RBI) per plate appearance across MLB player-seasons from 2020 to 2024.

This calculation returns the average number of runs batted in per plate appearance across every MLB player-season in the dataset: 4,299 player-seasons from 1,937 players, covering the 2020 to 2024 seasons. The current value is 0.092 RBI per plate appearance.Because each player-season counts equally, part-time players pull the average down. Pooled across all plate appearances league-wide, the rate is 0.114. Among player-seasons with at least 300 plate appearances, the highest rate belongs to J.D. Martinez in 2023 at 0.215 RBI per plate appearance.Use it as a baseline for run-production efficiency when comparing hitters, lineups or seasons.
