The following is a list of batting champions by individual season, divided into three categories for educated comparison:

The batting championship is awarded to the Major League Baseball player in each of the American League and the National League who has the highest batting average in a particular season.

Currently, a player needs to accrue an average of at least 3.1 plate appearances for each game his team plays in order to qualify for the batting title, which roughly estimates to total 502 at bat appearances. An exception to this qualification rule is that, if a player falls short of 3.1 plate appearances per game, but would still have the highest batting average if enough hitless at-bats were added to reach the 3.1 average mark, the player still wins the batting championship.
