The most unbreakable records in MLB history: 262 Hits in one season

Unlike most records that occupy this list, this one feels attainable, somewhat.

Ichiro Suzuki currently holds the all-time record for the most hits in a single season with 262 in 2004. When taking a peek at the entire list, Suzuki only leads second-place George Sisler by five hits. But while his lead doesn’t exactly scream stranglehold, it does when you realize how difficult it is to actually surpass his 262 hits.

In recent history, only Jose Altuve of the Houston Astros has come even remotely close to Suzuki’s record as he racked up 225 hits in 2014.

Also helping his case, Suzuki appeared in 161 of 162 games that year. In a day and age where players get nicked up, banged up, and miss a ton of time, Suzuki was able to escape the injury bug all season long and put up monster numbers as a result.

In order for someone to catch Suzuki, they’ll not only need to rack up a ton of hits but they’ll have to play in practically every game in a given season, something that’s much easier said than done.
