2021 Minor League System-By-System Batting Leaders

On Monday, we published the final individual leaders for the 2021 minor league season. Today, we’ll take a look at how each system fared as a whole in a variety of offensive categories. We are looking at full-season affiliates only, since the number of teams in the Arizona Complex, Florida Complex and Dominican Summer Leagues varies from system to system.

The data make one thing abundantly clear: The hitters in the Dodgers organization ruled the minor leagues. They led in runs scored, home runs and extra-base hits and finished just two spots behind the Mariners for the best batting average among farm systems.
