In today's game of five-man rotations, pitchers do not start enough games to break the record. No pitcher started 34 games in 2024,<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> and only three pitchers in the 21st century have started more than 35 games in a season (<a href="/wiki/Tom_Glavine" title="Tom Glavine">Tom Glavine</a> in 2002 and <a href="/wiki/Roy_Halladay" title="Roy Halladay">Roy Halladay</a> and <a href="/wiki/Greg_Maddux" title="Greg Maddux">Greg Maddux</a> in 2003, each with 36 starts). The last pitcher to start at least 60 games was <a href="/wiki/Bill_Hutchison_(baseball)" title="Bill Hutchison (baseball)">Bill Hutchison</a>, who started 70 games in 1892.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> Although relief pitchers often <a href="/wiki/Games_pitched" title="Games pitched">appear</a> in more than the requisite number of games, they rarely record ten wins in a season. Relief pitcher usage reduces a starter's chance of a win, further limiting the ability to break the record. To put this record in further perspective, the last pitcher to win 30 games in a season was <a href="/wiki/Denny_McLain" title="Denny McLain">Denny McLain</a> in 1968 and the last pitcher to win more than 25 games in a season was <a href="/wiki/Bob_Welch_(baseball)" title="Bob Welch (baseball)">Bob Welch</a> with 27 in 1990.

Among pitchers whose entire careers were in the live-ball era, the most is 382 by <a href="/wiki/Warren_Spahn" title="Warren Spahn">Warren Spahn</a>. For a player to accomplish this, he would have to average 30 complete games over 25 seasons to get to 750. Between 2000 and 2009, the Major League leaders in complete games averaged eight per season, and only two pitchers in the 21st century have had 10 complete games in any season (<a href="/wiki/CC_Sabathia" title="CC Sabathia">CC Sabathia</a> with 10 in 2008 and <a href="/wiki/James_Shields_(baseball)" title="James Shields (baseball)">James Shields</a> with 11 in 2011).<a href="#cite_note-Chesbro-14">[14]</a> In addition, only two pitchers other than Young have even started as many as 749 games—<a href="/wiki/Nolan_Ryan" title="Nolan Ryan">Nolan Ryan</a> (773) and <a href="/wiki/Don_Sutton" title="Don Sutton">Don Sutton</a> (756).<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> Among active pitchers, the leader is Verlander with 26, followed by Kershaw with 25.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> The quest for any complete-game records, either over a career or over a single season, is further complicated by the drastic change in philosophy embraced by virtually all modern managers and pitching coaches, motivated in roughly equal parts by more advanced modern-day medical knowledge of the cumulative damage that pitching does to a hurler's arm, combined with teams' reluctance to see injuries to a pitcher in whom they have invested considerable financial capital in the form of a big contract. Another factor, arguably, is the greater reliance of managers and pitching coaches on <a href="/wiki/Sabermetrics" title="Sabermetrics">sabermetrics</a>—in this case, statistical data and analysis that generally show leaving a starter to face more batters leads to diminishing returns in terms of opposing batters allowed to reach base safely and score runs.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> While even a few decades ago, a starting pitcher was expected to go out and attempt to pitch a complete game, with the manager going to his bullpen only if the starter ran into trouble or was injured or visibly tiring, now a starter is expected to give his manager six or seven "quality innings," at which point he normally will be relieved by one or more middle-inning specialists to pitch the next several innings before the team's closer.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> There are exceptions—a manager will leave a starter in who is working on a no-hitter or, sometimes, a shutout, or will let a starter continue if he is pitching particularly strongly and has not run up a high pitch count. But managerial caution is now a more dominant mode, particularly if a pitcher is coming off a recent injury or has had <a href="/wiki/Tommy_John_surgery" class="mw-redirect" title="Tommy John surgery">Tommy John surgery</a> or any other major procedure done on his pitching arm. These changes in philosophy have reduced the number of complete games in today's game to an even greater extent than in the first decade of the 21st century. Since Shields completes 11 games in 2011, no pitcher has had more than 6 complete games in a season, with the two most recent to amass 6 being <a href="/wiki/Chris_Sale" title="Chris Sale">Chris Sale</a> in 2016 and <a href="/wiki/Sandy_Alc%C3%A1ntara" title="Sandy Alcántara">Sandy Alcántara</a> in 2022.

Thanks to a best-of-three playoff between the Dodgers and <a href="/wiki/San_Francisco_Giants" title="San Francisco Giants">San Francisco Giants</a>, which ended the season tied for first place (back when league pennants were winner-take-all, with no annual end-of-season multi-tiered layers of playoffs, play-ins, and wild cards), both teams played 165 games. Because the play-off was to determine the regular season winner of the league championship, the games were counted as extensions of the regular season, and not the post-season, which at that time was composed solely of the <a href="/wiki/World_Series" title="World Series">World Series</a>. Both the individual and team single-season games played records were set at the beginning of a seven-year span that began with the 1962 National League expansion to 162 games and ended after the 1968 season, when the NL replaced its traditional best-of-three tiebreakers with <a href="/wiki/One-game_playoff" title="One-game playoff">one-game playoffs</a>. The 1962 season was the only occasion during those years in which a tie-breaker was needed. Until the abolition of tie-breaker games prior to the 2022 season, the American League always used one-game playoffs. Prior to the end of the 2021 season, there were a few occasions prior where three or more teams could have tied for postseason berths going into the last day of the season, which under the rules then in force would have resulted in one or more teams having to play at least two other teams in successive tie-breakers. However, a three-way tie involving postseason berths never occurred, meaning that other than in the aforementioned 1962 season no team ever played more than 163 regular season games. As part of the provisions of the 2022 Basic Agreement, MLB expanded the playoffs and replaced one-game tie-breaker games with performance-based criteria to break future ties. Thus unless and until the regular season schedule is extended, which is considered extremely unlikely since all subsequent expansions to the season length after 1962 have been to extend the postseason, no team will play more than 162 regular season games. Historically, there have been two other ways for a player to accumulate more than 162 games played in a season. The first is if the player changes teams in a mid-season trade - a swap to a team that has played fewer games can result in a schedule for the traded player being greater than either individual teams'. Presently '70s-era speedster <a href="/wiki/Frank_Taveras" title="Frank Taveras">Frank Taveras</a><a href="#cite_note-ssgames-84">[83]</a> holds the records for both most regularly scheduled MLB games played in a season[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] and most games played for two teams in the same season,[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] both 164, done in 1979. However, even by this method Wills' individual record is statistically ever more unlikely to be broken because teams are increasingly inclined to rest even their best players as part of a new sabremetrics-based strategy known as "load management". On average, as of the early 2020's only about three players in all of baseball appear in even 162 regular season games of any given MLB season. The other method in which a player can be credited with more than 162 games played is when games are called with the score tied after the game becomes official, i.e. after five or more innings are played. In recent decades, this was almost always due to adverse weather, although historically such games were also called due to darkness and/or curfews. Due to the tie score, such games did not count in the official standings and were replayed in their entirety. However, player statistics still counted, allowing for example <a href="/wiki/Hideki_Matsui" title="Hideki Matsui">Hideki Matsui</a> to play 163 games for the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Yankees" title="New York Yankees">New York Yankees</a> in 2003. The rules were changed in 2007 to require such tie games to be suspended. The games are then completed at a later date (rather than replayed in full) if feasible and/or required to determine postseason qualification. This change makes such a scenario highly unlikely to be seen again.<a href="#cite_note-matsui-85">[84]</a><a href="#cite_note-mashable-86">[85]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Most_consecutive_games_played_–_2,632">Most consecutive games played – 2,632</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_Major_League_Baseball_records_considered_unbreakable&action=edit&section=31" title="Edit section: Most consecutive games played – 2,632">edit</a>]</div> Set by <a href="/wiki/Cal_Ripken_Jr." title="Cal Ripken Jr.">Cal Ripken Jr.</a>, 1982–1998.<a href="#cite_note-ripken-87">[86]</a> <a href="/wiki/Lou_Gehrig" title="Lou Gehrig">Lou Gehrig</a>, whose record Ripken surpassed in 1995, had a <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_consecutive_games_played_streaks" class="mw-redirect" title="Major League Baseball consecutive games played streaks">consecutive games streak</a> of 2,130 games, 502 fewer.<a href="#cite_note-unbreakable_dvd-30">[30]</a><a href="#cite_note-ripken-87">[86]</a><a href="#cite_note-records-88">[87]</a> Third on the all-time list is <a href="/wiki/Everett_Scott" title="Everett Scott">Everett Scott</a>, whose streak of 1,307 consecutive games is less than half of Ripken's total.<a href="#cite_note-records-88">[87]</a> Only seven players have ever played more than 1,000 consecutive games.<a href="#cite_note-records-88">[87]</a> For a player to approach the milestone, he would have to play all 162 games in a season for 16 years just to get to 2,592 games.

The American League's adoption of the <a href="/wiki/Designated_hitter" title="Designated hitter">designated hitter</a> rule in 1973 led to the widespread substitution of the DH in the pitcher's slot in the batting order in regular season, All-Star and postseason games played in AL parks. Since then, Ferrell's record has been widely considered an unbreakable AL record. Even after AL pitchers resumed batting more frequently in 1997 with the introduction of <a href="/wiki/Interleague_play" title="Interleague play">interleague play</a>, since then no American League pitcher has received enough at-bats to seriously challenge any of the above home run statistics (or any other game, seasonal or career hitting marks set by AL pitchers historically). While pitchers would continue to bat in National League parks for almost a half century after the AL introduced the DH, the aforementioned changes to in-game team management and season structure during that period made a serious challenge to Farrell's record increasingly unlikely - specifically, the introduction of interleague play conversely meant that NL pitchers received fewer at-bats since their teams used the DH when playing in AL parks and the aforementioned drastic reduction in complete games (and corresponding increasing use of relief pitchers) in turn increased the opportunity to use pinch hitters in the pitcher's spot in the batting order. All these factors combined to substantially reduce the number of at-bats per game any individual pitcher could have expected to receive even in NL parks. The career MLB leader for home runs by a pitcher since the introduction of the DH in the AL is <a href="/wiki/Carlos_Zambrano" title="Carlos Zambrano">Carlos Zambrano</a>, who played his entire career in the interleague era and recorded 24 homers in NL parks. During the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, the DH was used throughout MLB, although it was dropped again in NL parks for the 2021 season. As part of the new Basic Agreement prior to the 2022 season, MLB owners and players agreed to the permanent inclusion of the DH in all MLB parks. At the time of the permanent implementation of a universal DH, the leader among then-active pitchers was <a href="/wiki/Madison_Bumgarner" title="Madison Bumgarner">Madison Bumgarner</a> with 19 home runs. A notable caveat to the unbreakability of this record concerns Japanese player <a href="/wiki/Shohei_Ohtani" title="Shohei Ohtani">Shohei Ohtani</a>, who has excelled as both a starting pitcher and a designated hitter since signing with the <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Angels" title="Los Angeles Angels">Los Angeles Angels</a> in 2018. Ohtani's signing led to speculation that Ferrell's record would quickly be broken, however, Ohtani did not hit and pitch in the same game until the 2021 season<a href="#cite_note-99">[98]</a> and MLB quickly clarified that his home runs hit while not pitching would not be scored as being hit "by a pitcher." Notably, Ohtani hit 46 home runs in the 2021 season alone. This total includes the first three of his career (all in AL parks) that Ohtani hit while pitching. The implementation of the universal DH essentially coincided with additional rule change dubbed the "<a href="/wiki/Ohtani_rule" class="mw-redirect" title="Ohtani rule">Ohtani rule</a>" that allows batting pitchers to remain in the game as a DH after being relieved from the mound. The "Ohtani rule" largely eliminates the disincentive against a good-hitting pitcher batting in the same game since it means relievers do not have to bat for themselves (or be replaced by pinch hitters) in games where the starting pitcher appears at the plate. Ohtani, who was 27 as of the start of the 2022 season, needed 38 home runs while pitching to officially break Ferrell's record. As per the terms of the "Ohtani rule," hitting statistics recorded by a batting pitcher after any defensive half-inning completed by him will be scored as being hit by a pitcher whether or not he returns to the mound to start the next defensive half-inning, but hitting statistics compiled after a reliever appears on the mound will not. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Most_career_sacrifice_bunts_–_512">Most career sacrifice bunts – 512</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_Major_League_Baseball_records_considered_unbreakable&action=edit&section=34" title="Edit section: Most career sacrifice bunts – 512">edit</a>]</div> Set by <a href="/wiki/Eddie_Collins" title="Eddie Collins">Eddie Collins</a>, who successfully laid down 512 <a href="/wiki/Sacrifice_bunt" title="Sacrifice bunt">sacrifice bunts</a> over his 25-year career with the Philadelphia Athletics.<a href="#cite_note-100">[99]</a><a href="#cite_note-101">[100]</a> Second behind him is <a href="/wiki/Jake_Daubert" title="Jake Daubert">Jake Daubert</a> with 392.

Modern baseball teams value minimizing outs rather than moving a base-runner over a single base position.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Bunting has usually been attempted by players with limited hitting abilities. Usually pitchers in National League parks who when required to bat often attempted to advance baserunners as opposed to trying to reach base (and run the basepaths). However, there was no point in the history of the game where pitchers played anywhere close to enough innings to have a realistic opportunity to challenge Collins' record. In modern baseball, position players generally only bunt in specific situations.

Even in his last three seasons, only two teams in each league made the postseason. Also, when Banks made his MLB debut, the Cubs had not played in the World Series since 1945, and did not make the postseason again until 1984. Notably, Banks' career spanned the early expansion era in which the leagues expanded to ten teams each but the postseason format remained as it was before, resulting in a mere 10% of all teams reaching the postseason each season, the lowest such percentage ever in force in North American major professional sports. Moreover, the lack of free agency made it much more difficult for players to leave perennial also-rans for better teams. In contrast, 12 teams (40% of MLB, or 6 from each league) now participate in the postseason, still the lowest such percentage currently in force but much more comparable to the other major sports leagues. Moreover, modern free agency rules give players much more opportunity to move to teams that can contend for postseason slots.

In 1898 the Spiders finished a respectable fifth in the NL, but dead last out of twelve teams in attendance at only 70,496 for the entire season. In contrast the <a href="/wiki/St._Louis_Cardinals" title="St. Louis Cardinals">St. Louis Browns</a> (now Cardinals) were by far the worst team on the field but still drew respectable crowds by the standards of the time, especially considering the team's poor performance.

Resigning themselves to the reality that fans in Cleveland were not going to pay to watch a decimated roster, the Spiders/Perfectos ownership transferred all of the Spiders' home games against the Perfectos to St. Louis. As the season wore on, the already-puny crowds in Cleveland shrank in response to mounting losses to a fraction of even their NL-worst 1898 numbers. In all 42 games played in 1899 in Cleveland the Spiders drew only 6,088 fans – an average of 145 per game. In response to the mounting fiasco, the other ten NL teams requested the Spiders transfer home games to their parks as well since their cut of the gate receipts would leave them unable to recoup the expenses of the journey. Since the Spiders' cut of the gate receipts for road games was far more lucrative than their gate receipts for home games, the Spiders' owners were not inclined to object to such requests. Thus, the Spiders only played eight home games after July 1, giving them the opportunity for 101 road losses (against 11 wins).[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] <ul><li>Today, MLB revenue streams are far more numerous, while in the case of media rights are often both contractually dependent on teams playing their entire schedule, and are not affected by attendance, while travel expenses make up a much smaller portion of a team's budget.

Notwithstanding technological limitations however, scouting and recruiting efforts were essentially limited to the United States, with the enforcement of the <a href="/wiki/Baseball_color_line" title="Baseball color line">color barrier</a> limiting the NL's potential talent pool even further. While NL clubs did cultivate relationships with teams in other leagues, procuring players from them often involved contentious negotiations with teams in autonomous leagues that (at best) grudgingly accepted NL pre-eminence (indeed, it was resentment of the NL's attempts to dominate combined with the contraction of the Spiders and three other teams that directly led to the formation of the American League). While NL owners sometimes tried to overcome this by acquiring financial interests in "minor league" clubs, even under those arrangements they could become under certain circumstances be willing to forego whatever rights they had to move such a team's best players to the NL - this was especially common if the "minor league" team was in its own pennant race and/or doing reasonably well at the gate. In any case, there is no evidence that the owners of the Spiders, after deciding to strip its roster of the best players, made any effort to replace them (say, by trying to purchase the contracts of potentially better players in other leagues). Instead, they compelled the Cleveland team to play the 1899 season with the roster they had. The end result was a team worse than the likely relative result of a 21st century MLB organization going as far as trading away its entire major league roster (and/or letting the whole roster leave via free agency) then signing only <a href="/wiki/Replacement-level_player" class="mw-redirect" title="Replacement-level player">replacement-level players</a> willing to play for the MLB minimum salary.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>]</li> <li>In spite of the aforementioned circumstances, the 1899 Spiders still managed to play their entire 154-game schedule – an unusual occurrence in an era when cancellations and ties were much more frequent, and the affected games were often not made up.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>]</li></ul> The 1899 Spiders also hold the records for the most losses in a single MLB season (with 134) and lowest winning percentage (.130). While these are technically possible to break, even under a 162-game schedule only three teams have come within 15 losses of the record, these being the expansion <a href="/wiki/1962_New_York_Mets_season" title="1962 New York Mets season">1962 New York Mets</a> (40–120, .250 winning percentage), the <a href="/wiki/2003_Detroit_Tigers_season" title="2003 Detroit Tigers season">2003 Detroit Tigers</a> (43–119, .265 winning percentage) and the <a href="/wiki/2024_Chicago_White_Sox_season" title="2024 Chicago White Sox season">2024 Chicago White Sox</a> (41–121, .253 winning percentage). Since 1899, only six teams have recorded a winning percentage under .260 (i.e. less than double that of the 1899 Spiders), with the 1962 Mets and 2024 White Sox being the only teams to do so under a 162-game schedule. Excluding the possibility of shortened seasons and/or canceled games not being made up, a team would need to lose 141 games over a 162-game season to record a .130 winning percentage (this yields a .129 winning percentage if the traditional rounding to three decimal places is ignored).[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] <div
