MLB Hitter Rankings 2026 — H-Score, OPS and Home Runs
Every hitter with at least 100 plate appearances ranked by H-Score, our 0–100 index that blends production, contact quality, plate discipline, power, splits and volume. This is the general catalog of MLB hitters — not a home-run board. Category leaders live on the batting leaders board.

Board notes
Frequently asked
How is H-Score calculated?+
It combines Production, Contact Quality, Plate Discipline, Power, Splits and Volume into a 0–100 index, normalized within the qualified pool. After that, inactivity slightly reduces the published number. Weights are proprietary; pillar results are shown on every hitter profile.
Who qualifies for this board?+
Hitters with 100 plate appearances. That is the same threshold used to publish an H-Score. There are currently 428 qualified hitters.
Who leads MLB in home runs?+
Kyle Schwarber with 42.
Who has the highest batting average?+
Brett Bateman at .347.
Who leads in H-Score?+
Yordan Alvarez at 96. H-Score is our 0–100 offensive index for qualified hitters.
Why is this separate from batting leaders?+
They answer different questions. This board evaluates a full offensive profile; the leaders board ranks a single statistic.
Does H-Score include defense or baserunning?+
No. It is an offensive index only. WAR in the table includes those components and is shown for context.
How do the trend arrows work?+
Arrows show the difference versus the previously published H-Score. Trending up requires a gain of two or more points.
