Well, this list blows my mind. Absolutely smashing the previous highest on-base percentage, set by Nick Sinay seven years ago (fueled by hit-by-pitches at the rate the league hasn’t seen before or since), we have Nate Furman! Furman got on base 57% of the time this past summer- wow!

Notes
- Three men joined this list from 2021- Furman, Niko Amory, and Ryan Galanie
- Even though this list includes info all the way back to 1994, the “oldest” player on this list is David Stone, at #19 for his 2001 stats. Interesting.
- Jason Kipnis is the only major leaguer on the list, but many have played in the minors, and several still have the chance to do so.
- Next up is slugging percentage…
