List of Major League Baseball career runs batted in leaders


The following is a list of Major League Baseball players who have reached the 1,000 runs batted in milestone. RBIs are usually accumulated by a batter in baseball by successfully allowing a runner on base to score as a result of making contact at-bat, though a batter is credited with an RBI if a run scores as a result of his reaching first base with the bases loaded as a result of either a base on balls, or being hit by a pitch, or interference. Albert Pujols is the only active top five RBI player in 2020.
