This page shows the players who according to my records have made the most over-the-boundary hits (including 6s) in a particular first-class season. The figures shown are the minimum number a player is believed to have hit. Please note that further research may alter the tally listed.

Also note that prior to the 1912-13 season numerous hits that would be awarded six runs in present-day matches, were in fact only awarded 4 or 5 runs.

However, because they were clearly "over-the-boundary" I am continuing to count them in the figures presented here.
