List of Major League Baseball career hit by pitch leaders - wikipedia List of Major League Baseball career hit by pitch leaders Hughie Jennings holds the record for most times hit by a pitch In baseball, hit by pitch ( HBP ) is a situation in which a batter or his clothing or equipment ( other than his bat ) is struck directly by a pitch from the pitcher ; the batter is called a hit batsman ( HB ). A hit batsman is awarded first base, provided that ( in the plate umpire 's judgment ) he made an honest effort to avoid the pitch, although failure to do so is rarely called by an umpire. Being hit by a pitch is often caused by a batter standing too close to, or `` crowding '', home plate.
