[UPDATED JULY 12, 2013]
This is very similar to the Beat the Streak Strategy #4: At least one hit per game percentage, but it’s a little simplier. It’s just how many games a player got at least one hit. I call this stat GH (Games with a Hit). The plan is simply to go down the list and play one guy each day.
The top 30 players with most games with at least one hit in 2013:

I have no idea who Marco Scutaro is, but heck he had 112 games last year with a hit. View the full list of 300 players with the most GH in 2010.

Can they put more glitter on the Cabrera card? Is this a disney princess card or is it a baseball card?
Hey just letting you know your stats for Goldschmidt are incorrect, he had 112 games with at least one hit last season. And freddie freeman should be high up on this list too and he is nowhere to be found.
Thank you randomperson. Goldschmidt is listed with 112 games on my list. Freed Freeman came close to the top 30. He finished 37th in 2013 with 107 GH. He head just one more game with a hit, he would have made it into the top 30.
Hi there, love your site. I was wondering how you get this data… I can’t find it anywhere! I want it for a project I’m working on, but can’t figure out how to extract it from other stats. Could you help point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Henry, thanks for your comment! I get most of my stats from baseball-reference.com. Are there any stats in particular you are looking for?
Yes, sorry I should have been more specific. I am looking for the Games With At least One Hit statistic… I can’t seem to find it anywhere, or figure out how to calculate it properly! Thanks again.
