45 different offensive categories.
A Cub has led or tied for the National League lead in at least 1 category in
101 of
Hack Wilson led in
17 in 1930; Heinie Zimmerman (1912) and Rogers Hornsby (1929), in 16; Derrek Lee (2005), in 14; and Billy Williams (1972) in 13.
At the other extreme, Walt "Moose" Moryn and Lee Walls led the NL only once each while with the Cubs -- tying for most times hit by pitches in 1958, with 8.
Ernie Banks led in WAR (10.2) and defensive WAR (3.5) in 1959, when he was voted Most Valuable Player for the second straight season. But he was only third in offensive WAR (7.8), trailing Hank Aaron (9.1) and Eddie Mathews (8.4).
