1938 NL Standings and League Leaders plus Overall Team Stats

August 1, 1938

St. Louis Cardinal Johnny Mize continues to lead the NL in many of the top hitting catagories. NY Giant Mel Ott continues to display his hitting prowess too. Cincinnati Red pitcher Paul Derringer at 16-5 with a 2.32 ERA is the top overall hurler in the league and the team's pitching staff as a whole is best in the NL. The Pittsburgh Pirates are 2nd in the league in both Team BA and Team ERA. That consistency is one reason they sit on top of the NL Standings.
