Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki set the record during the 2004 season.
It was during the 1994 season that he began to use his given name, "Ichiro" instead of his family name, "Suzuki" on the back of his uniform. Suzuki is the second most common family name in Japan, and his manager introduced the idea as a publicity stunt to help create a new image for what had been a relatively weak team, as well as a way to distinguish their rising star. Initially, Ichiro disliked the practice and was embarrassed by it; however, "Ichiro" was a household name by the end of the season and he was flooded with endorsement offers.
Ichiro Suzuki has the record, 262 in 2004.
The record for the most hits in a single season by a rookie is held by Ichiro Suzuki, who recorded 242 hits in the 2001 MLB season. The previous record was held by Shoeless Joe Jackson with 233 hits in 1911.
