1884 in baseball
The following are the baseball events of the year 1884 throughout the world.
Any team shown in small text indicates a previous team a player was on during the season.
1 American Association Triple Crown pitching winner
2 National League Triple Crown pitching winner
3 All-time single-season wins record
The 1884 season was memorable in that six of the top 10 all-time Major League Baseball single season strikeout totals were set that season:
Old Hoss Radbourn won a record 59 or 60 games (depending on the sources), a record that will almost certainly never be broken. In addition to wins, Radbourn led the National League in games (75), games started (73), complete games (73), ERA (1.38), saves (2), strikeouts (441), and innings pitched (678.2).
The season record for pitching strikeouts (369, by Tim Keefe 1883) is broken by seven players, with Hugh Daily beating Keefe's record by 114. To this day (as of 2020), six of the top ten strikeout seasons were accomplished in 1884 (including five of the top seven). 1884 was the first season in which pitchers were allowed to throw overhand.[improper synthesis?]
* Some sources show 1887
