In the baseball Mexican League (LMB), the player with the highest batting average at the end of the season wins the "batting title". The first champion was recognized in 1937, the first season that the Mexican League officially recorded statistics. That year, Alfonso Nieto claimed the title with a .476 batting average. The most recent LMB batting champion is Robinson Canó, who slashed .431 while playing for the Diablos Rojos del México during the 2024 season.
Héctor Espino is the most successful batter in the history of the Mexican League batting title, having won it five times, in 1964, 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1973, including three consecutive seasons. The record for the most consecutive batting titles belongs to Al Pinkston, who won four straight from 1959 to 1962. Beto ÃÂvila was the first player to win batting titles in both the Mexican League and Major League Baseball, achieving the feat in 1947 with the Pericos de Puebla and in 1954 with the Cleveland Indians in the American League.
