 He finished the season with an NL-leading 203 hits, becoming the first Brewer to lead his league in hits since Molitor topped the AL in 1991. Braun became the fourth Brewer in team history to collect 200 or more hits in a season, and the first in 18 years. His .320 batting average at the end of the season was the highest by a Brewer since Jeff Cirillo hit .326 in 1999.
