Alvarez and Moreno Win Batting Titles, Misiorowski Leads Majors in ERA and Strikeouts
Moreno became the first Diamondbacks player to win a batting title, edging Luis Arraez by .001 as Yordan Alvarez and Jacob Misiorowski also led baseball.
- On Sunday, September 27, 2026, Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno clinched the National League batting title with a.311 average, despite being scratched from the season finale due to a tender left hamstring.
- This historic achievement marks the first batting title in Diamondbacks history, capping a breakout season where Moreno also secured a Gold Glove and helped lead Arizona through the 2023 World Series.
- Moreno joins elite company as only the fifth catcher to win a batting crown since 1900, following legends Buster Posey and Joe Mauer, while finishing with career highs of 16 home runs and 83 RBIs.
- Narrowly edging Philadelphia Phillies infielder Luis Arraez, Moreno secured the crown with a one-percentage-point margin as Arraez finished at.310 after missing the final three games with an ankle injury.
- Although Arizona missed the playoffs for the third consecutive year, the team retains control over Moreno for at least two more seasons, positioning him as a cornerstone for future competitiveness.
