It is difficult to determine quantitatively what is considered to be a "good" value in a certain statistical category, and qualitative assessments may lead to arguments. Using full-season statistics available at the Official Site of Major League Baseball<ref>[http://mlb.mlb.com/stats/historical/leaders.jsp?c_id=mlb&baseballScope=mlb&statType=1&sortByStat=All&timeFrame=1&timeSubFrame=2004 Major League Baseball Historical Statistics]</ref> for the 2004 through 2015 seasons, the following tables show top ranges in various statistics, in alphabetical order. For each statistic, two values are given:
*Top5: the top five players bettered this value in all of the reported seasons
*Best: this is the best of all of the players for all of the reported seasons
