Yes. A batter is credited with at least one RBI (run batted in) when he hits a home run. He is also credited with a run scored when he crosses home plate.
If there are men on base ahead of him, then the batter who hits a home run is also credited an RBI for each of those runners who score. All told here is the number of runs batted in credited to a batter who hits a home run with a specific number of runners on base ahead of him:
Number of Men on Base | RBI for Batter Hitting Home Run |
0 | 1 |
1 | 2 |
2 | 3 |
3 | 4 |
A bases-loaded home run (one with three men already on base) is a Grand Slam!
