Baseball’s rarest feat, watched daily

The Crown Watch

Nobody has taken a batting Triple Crown since Miguel Cabrera in 2012. These are the 2026 standings in all three categories at once — and exactly how far the field has left to run.

Closest to the Triple Crown

Yordan Alvarez holds all three crowns outright with 32 games still on the schedule.

Contenders are ordered by crowns held, then by their weakest of the three categories — because a Triple Crown is decided by whichever race a player is losing, not the one they are winning.
