Most Runs Scored in Blue Jays History

Run scoring, like RBIs, is dependent on the performance of teammates. The Toronto Blue Jays with the most runs scored often relied on the hitters behind them, apart from the occasions when they drove themselves in. 

Even all-time great hitters need help from the rest of their team to score runs. A counting stat like this also depends on durability, longevity, and consistent production to ensure a player reaches base enough times to score the over 500 runs required to make the top 10.

Which Blue Jays Player Scored the Most Runs in Team History?

Carlos Delgado has scored the most runs in Blue Jays history with 889. 

Delgado has scored 99 more runs than any other Jays hitter. Only four other players have scored more than 641 runs for the franchise. 

Having made his debut in 1993, Delgado didn’t establish himself in the big leagues until a couple of years later. The slugging first baseman became one of the baseball betting favourites for AL MVP in 2000 and 2003 but ultimately finished fourth and second, respectively. 

With 134 in 1999, Shawn Green holds the record for the most runs scored in a single season. 

Carlos Delgado, Shannon Stewart, Orlando Hudson, and Josh Donaldson share the record for the most runs scored in a game with five. 

Donaldson achieved the feat in 2015 when the Blue Jays odds to win the World Series were shorter than in previous years after an active offseason, which included the acquisitions of Russell Martin, Donaldson, Marco Estrada, and Devon Travis.
