On average, as of the early 2020's only about three players in all of baseball appear in even 162 regular season games of any given MLB season.

Fernando Tatís holds the MLB mark of 8 RBI in a single inning, set in 1999 with two grand slams. Alex Rodriguez set the AL mark with 7 RBI, in a game in which he reached 30 HR and 100 RBI for a record 13th consecutive season. Cody Bellinger is the most recent player to tie the 6-RBI mark, doing so on June 6, 2021.
