The New York Yankees have the fewest singles in baseball.
The Atlanta Braves and Tampa Bay Rays rank top-two on that leaderboard.
Yeah, we're talking about singles, because this post is getting a lot of attention on social media:

But guess what? That stat is almost irrelevant.
It's not about hitting one-base hits.
It's about reaching base, in any way, and then about scoring runs.
If singles are how a team does it, so be it.
But a team can walk, or double, or triple, or homer.
Singles require multiple to end in runs. Home runs? You just need one.
And a walk is the same as a single, so if a team walks more than another, it'll likely have fewer singles just by default.
The Yankees rank last in MLB for singles due to their offensive strategy and player performance, leading to fewer hits in this category.
The Atlanta Braves and Tampa Bay Rays currently rank as the top two teams for the most singles in MLB.
Ranking last in singles may not significantly impact the Yankees' overall performance, as this statistic is often considered less critical in evaluating a team's success.

And the reality is this: The Rays are 26-13. The Yankees are 26-15 (through Sunday, May 10).
Don't you think if that much higher singles total for the Rays mattered at all, these records would be drastically different?
So anyway, stop worrying about singles. They aren't the point.
