Red Sox milestones tracker: Hits, homers, Ks and records Sox fans love

Over the years, several players have put on a Boston uniform and become legends. It can feel as though previous members of the Red Sox are untouchable, but could any current players join an exclusive club?

The answer: It depends. When it comes to records, some may be within reach, while others will stand the test of time. Still, it is always fun to watch up-and-coming players at Fenway Park try to raise the bar, providing fans with unforgettable moments.

Which franchise records could be broken in the future? How about the numbers that may never be surpassed?

Team records that define Red Sox history (single-season and career)

Ted Williams is one of the most significant figures in baseball history, and he still holds multiple records that may never be broken.

He was the last player to have a .400 batting average for a full season, and he owns the MLB OBP record (.482). He is the Red Sox’s all-time leader in many categories, including batting average, OBP, OPS and slugging percentage.

Carl Yastrzemski played in 3,308 games — the second-most in MLB history behind only Pete Rose (3,562) — and no Red Sox player is close to catching him. “Yaz” is also the team’s all-time leader in hits, runs and RBIs.

When it comes to pitching stats, it will take an extremely durable arm to catch Roger Clemens’ record of 2,590 strikeouts with the Red Sox. Tim Wakefield, famous for his knuckleball, is sitting atop Boston’s list of innings pitched with 3,006.

Fenway Park-specific feats: Quirky Red Sox stats

Opened in 1912, Fenway Park is the oldest park in baseball.

From 2003 to 2013, the Red Sox had a sellout streak of 820 consecutive games at Fenway Park. It included 794 regular-season games and 26 postseason contests, surpassing the previous record of 455, held by the then-Cleveland Indians at Jacobs Field, now known as Progressive Field.

The longest home run to have been hit at Fenway Park is 502 feet off the bat of Ted Williams in 1946. The home run to right field is marked by a red seat. However, based on modern data, Williams’ blast may have traveled even farther than 502 feet.

Modern milestones to follow each season: What’s realistic?

The Red Sox have acquired some top-tier players over the years, and there is one pitcher who could climb to the top of the list in a specific stat.

Chris Sale owns the team record for strikeouts per nine innings pitched (12.861). Garrett Crochet, the 2025 MLB strikeout leader (255), may have a chance to break the record if he continues to dominate opponents. He finished the 2025 season with 11.2 strikeouts per nine innings pitched.
