Arraez denies Ohtani the NL Triple Crown, going on to win the team’s third-team batting title

Skubal became the first AL Triple Crown winner since Cleveland’s Shane Bieber during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season and the first in a full season since Justin Verlander in 2011.

Washington stole 223 bases, the most since the 1993 Montreal Expos had 228.

The Chicago White Sox finished 41–121, breaking the post-1900 record for losses held by the 1962 New York Mets, who went 40–120 during the franchise’s first season. The 1899 Cleveland Spiders hold the overall major league mark at 20-134.
