Rodney Stollings continued to grow into one of the greatest hitters the game of base ball had ever seen. After spending much of the season in .440 range, he cooled down to a league leading .421. Norman Lent recovered from an off season (.347 in 1877) to finish 3rd at .392. Stollings also lead with 68 Long Hits, 24 more than teammate Panell and Flake who split time with Buffalo and Chicago; and missed by 1 setting a league record for hits with 158—teammate Panell had 159. Stollings set the record for doubles, again, with 48 and tied his home run record at 12.
The top four run scorers were Brooklynites: Calvin Wing and Panell tied at 89, with Stollings (74) and Silky Goodstein (68) next in line. Wing also took 42 extra bases, a full 14 ahead of Steve Alves of Chicago. The runs and extra bases where league records, as was Wing’s 65 walks.
Evertt Waugh of Brooklyn allowed only 2.11 Responsible runs to pace the circuit; while Cherokee Kinan topped with 18 victories. Kinan’s 50 batters struck was also a league leader and Boris Seekell’s 226.1 Innings pitched lead the Empire.
The difference in the league was offense. Brooklyn scored 581 runs; at 440 Boston was second in the league. Walks, hits, steals, and extra base hits—the Atlantics dominated every facet of the line.
