Hits correlated strongly with HmRun (r = 0.562, p .001), Runs (r = 0.922, p .001), RBI (r = 0.811, p .001), and Walks (r = 0.641, p .001). Similarly, HmRun correlated significantly with Runs (r = 0.651, p .001), RBI (r = 0.855, p .001), and Walks (r = 0.481, p .001). Runs also showed strong positive correlations with RBI (r = 0.798, p .001) and Walks (r = 0.732, p .001), while RBI positively correlated with Walks (r = 0.616, p .001).
