{{Featured list}}

In [[baseball]], a player earns a '''Triple Crown''' when he leads a league in three specific [[Baseball statistics|statistical categories]] in the same season. The term "Triple Crown" generally refers to the [[batter (baseball)|batting]] achievement of leading a league in [[batting average (baseball)|batting average]], [[home run]]s, and [[runs batted in]] (RBI) over the same season.<ref name="Morosi">{{cite web|url=http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/miguel-cabrera-has-shot-at-triple-crown-060210|title=Cabrera has a legit shot at triple crown|last=Morosi|first=Jon Paul|date=June 4, 2010|work=Fox Sports|access-date=June 11, 2010|archive-date=June 6, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100606211022/http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/miguel-cabrera-has-shot-at-triple-crown-060210|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|last=Lockwood|first=Wayne|date=December 1997|title=A Batter's Top Challenge: Winning the Triple Crown|magazine=Baseball Digest|volume=56|issue=12|pages=60–63|issn=0005-609X|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6S4DAAAAMBAJ&q=triple+crown+baseball&pg=PA60}} {{dead link|date=October 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The term "Pitching Triple Crown" refers to the [[pitcher|pitching]] achievement of leading a league in [[win (baseball)|wins]], [[strikeout]]s, and [[earned run average]] (ERA).

The term "Triple Crown" is typically used when a player leads one league, such as the [[American League]] (AL) or the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL), in the specified categories. A tie for a lead in any category, such as home runs, is sufficient to be considered the leader in that category. A "Major League Triple Crown" may be said to occur when a player leads all of [[Major League Baseball]] in all three categories.

The term "Triple Crown", unless modified, generally connotes the batting achievement; it is not necessary to refer to it as the "hitting" Triple Crown. A hitter who completes a season leading a league in [[batting average (baseball)|batting average]], [[home run]]s, and [[runs batted in]] (RBI) may be said to have won the "Triple Crown."<ref name="Morosi"/>

The Triple Crown reflects the ability of a hitter to excel in three important ways: to hit safely a high percentage of the time (batting average); to hit the ball long distances (home runs); and to produce when runners are on base, driving them home to score (RBI). It is an uncommon feat to lead all hitters in each of these categories. It has been accomplished 17 times in major league seasons, most recently in 2012 by [[Miguel Cabrera]]. Cabrera's was the first since 1967, when [[Carl Yastrzemski]] accomplished the feat. Yastrzemski won the Triple Crown the year after [[Frank Robinson]] did, the only time back-to-back Triple Crowns occurred in baseball history.

[[Hiromitsu Ochiai]] and [[Oscar Charleston]] are the only players to have won three batting Triple Crowns in any league. Ochiai won in 1982, 1985, and 1986 while competing in the [[Pacific League]] of [[Nippon Professional Baseball]]. Charleston won in 1921 while playing in the [[Negro National League (1920–1931)|Negro National League]], and again in 1924 and 1925 while playing in the [[Eastern Colored League]]. In the American League and National League, the most batting Triple Crowns won by a player is two. [[Rogers Hornsby]] was the first to accomplish it, winning his first in 1922 and then leading both leagues in 1925 en route to his second Triple Crown, both with the [[St. Louis Cardinals]].<ref name="1922nl">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/1922-batting-leaders.shtml|title=1922 National League Batting Leaders|work=Baseball-Reference.com|access-date=June 11, 2010|archive-date=October 19, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181019001840/https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/1922-batting-leaders.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="1925ml">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/1925-batting-leaders.shtml|title=1925 Major League Baseball Batting Leaders|work=Baseball-Reference.com|access-date=June 11, 2010|archive-date=April 20, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100420081731/http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/1925-batting-leaders.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Ted Williams]] later matched this mark, leading both leagues in 1942 and the American League in 1947, both with the [[Boston Red Sox]].<ref name="1942al">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/1942-batting-leaders.shtml|title=1942 American League Batting Leaders|work=Baseball-Reference.com|access-date=June 11, 2010|archive-date=March 8, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210308140601/https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/1942-batting-leaders.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="1947al">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/1947-batting-leaders.shtml|title=1947 American League Batting Leaders|work=Baseball-Reference.com|access-date=June 11, 2010|archive-date=March 7, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210307222827/https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/1947-batting-leaders.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> Ochai and [[Randy Bass]] each recorded Triple Crowns in consecutive seasons in the Nippon League, in 1985 and 1986.

In contrast to the respective batting statistics, the Pitching Triple Crown statistics are more or less complementary (for example, a pitcher who is especially proficient at striking out batters is likely to give up fewer earned runs, and consequently more likely to win games); therefore, the accomplishment is not as rare as the batting crown.

The Pitching Triple Crown has been accomplished 39 times in the American and National Leagues. The most by one player is three, accomplished by three players. [[Grover Cleveland Alexander]] captured his first two in consecutive seasons with the [[Philadelphia Phillies]] (1915–1916), and won a third in 1920 with the [[Chicago Cubs]]. Alexander is the only pitcher to win a Pitching Triple Crown with more than one major league team.<ref name="1915nl">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/1915-pitching-leaders.shtml|title=1915 National League Pitching Leaders|work=Baseball-Reference.com|access-date=June 11, 2010|archive-date=March 7, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210307224220/https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/1915-pitching-leaders.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="1916nl">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/1916-pitching-leaders.shtml|title=1916 National League Pitching Leaders|work=Baseball-Reference.com|access-date=June 11, 2010|archive-date=March 8, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210308054017/https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/1916-pitching-leaders.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="1920nl">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/1920-pitching-leaders.shtml|title=1920 National League Pitching Leaders|work=Baseball-Reference.com|access-date=June 11, 2010|archive-date=August 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210801020301/https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/1920-pitching-leaders.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Walter Johnson]] won his three Triple Crowns with the [[Washington Senators (1901–60)|original Washington Senators]], leading the league in all three categories in 1913, 1918, and 1924.<ref name="1913al">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/1913-pitching-leaders.shtml|title=1913 American League Pitching Leaders|work=Baseball-Reference.com|access-date=June 11, 2010|archive-date=April 26, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210426023423/https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/1913-pitching-leaders.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="1918al">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/1918-pitching-leaders.shtml|title=1918 American League Pitching Leaders|work=Baseball-Reference.com|access-date=June 11, 2010|archive-date=October 16, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211016102316/https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/1918-pitching-leaders.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="1924al">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/1924-pitching-leaders.shtml|title=1924 American League Pitching Leaders|work=Baseball-Reference.com|access-date=June 11, 2010|archive-date=July 24, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190724043958/https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/1924-pitching-leaders.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Sandy Koufax]] was the most recent to capture three Triple Crowns, winning his three within four seasons for the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]] (1963, 1965–1966); all of Koufax's crowns led both major leagues, the most for any player.<ref name="1963ml"/><ref name="1965ml"/><ref name="1966ml"/>

The highest RBI total belongs to [[Lou Gehrig]], with 165 in 1934. Rogers Hornsby has the highest home run total by an NL winner, 42, from his 1922 season. The NL high for RBI is 154, set by Joe Medwick in 1937. [[Hugh Duffy]]'s .440 average in his 1894 Triple Crown season is the highest batting average by any player in major league history. [[Nap Lajoie]], in 1901, set the all-time AL single-season high in batting average with .426.

Among the major leaguers who earned the pitching Triple Crown, the lowest ERAs belong to Walter Johnson (1.14 in 1913 AL) and Grover Alexander (1.22 in 1915 NL). The highest win total belongs to [[Charles Radbourn]], amassed in 1884, who in that year set a major league single-season record with at least 59 wins.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/W_season.shtml|title=Single-Season Leaders & Records for Wins|work=Baseball-Reference.com|access-date=June 11, 2010|archive-date=January 2, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210102185550/https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/W_season.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=cf.

Walter Johnson holds the highest win total by an AL pitching Triple Crown winner, with 36 in 1913. Among AL pitching Triple Crown winners, [[Pedro Martínez]] registered the highest season strikeout total, with 313 in 1999. Since 1901, the major league pitcher with the highest season strikeout total in the course of a Triple Crown season is Sandy Koufax, striking out 382 in 1965.

[[Sun Dong-yol]] won the MVP of the season in 1986 with getting annual wins, strikeout, and ERA title. But as mentioned above, the KBO League's pitcher triple crown standard at that time was a winning-rate title, not a strikeout, so it is officially considered that Sun Dong-yeol in 1986 did not achieve the triple crown. Sun Dong-yol's winning percentage in the 1986 season was .800, ranking 2nd in the league.
