Hit (baseball)

A batter starts his run to reach first base after successfully hitting the ball.
Pete Rose is the all-time leader in Major League Baseball hits, recording 4,256.
Ichiro Suzuki has recorded the most career hits across top tier professional leagues, 4,367, combining his 3,089 Major League hits with his previous 1,278 hits in Nippon Professional Baseball.

In baseball statistics, a hit (denoted by H), also called a base hit, is credited to a batter when the batter safely reaches or passes first base after hitting the ball into fair territory with neither the benefit of an error nor a fielder's choice.
