pete rose
set by pete rose, 1963–86. no active major league player is at this time considered to be close to breaking rose's mark. following the retirement of ichiro suzuki shortly after the start of the 2019 season, the only active player with 3,000 hits is the -year-old albert pujols (3,086). to get within 6 hits of tying rose, a player would have to collect 250 hits over 17 consecutive seasons, or more than 200 hits over the course of 21 seasons. in the past 81 years, only ichiro has topped 250 hits in a season (with 262 hits in 2004). ichiro ended his playing career with 3,089 mlb hits and 1,278 hits in the japanese major leagues for a combined, unofficial total of 4,367, 111 more than rose's record; however, ichiro's hits from japan's major leagues are not counted toward his mlb total. at the start of the 2019 season, miguel cabrera ( years old) had 2,676 hits after 16 seasons; he would have to average 176 hits over 9 additional seasons (or 198 over 8 seasons) to break the record. no player younger than cabrera was within 200 hits of his career total at the end of the 2018 season, and no player younger than 30 at that time had even 1,600 career hits.
