2006 MLB Postseason Batting Leaders

58 players from 8 clubs qualified, ranked by OPS. October is short and uneven — one club plays two games, another nineteen — so the qualifier is 3.1 plate appearances per game the player's own club played, and never fewer than 10. None of it counts toward the regular-season leaders.

Reading this table

Box-score and rate statistics only. wOBA, wRC+, FIP and dbWAR are all measured against a league season, and a dozen clubs playing each other's best pitchers for a month is not one — borrowing the regular season's baselines would print numbers that look comparable and are not. Reached is the last round the player's club played in. The Parquet holds every round as well as the October totals. See the methodology →
