Not sure what the record is, but it must be in the 30s. Unofficially, the best I have is 29 by a single player:
Mel Ott 2(-2) $9.04M with 29 assits (plus several seasons with mid-20s assists)
Devo White 1(-3) $1.79M with 29 assists (only time I have used him); as a quick aside, Devo's great defense, 489 POs, 29 assists, 5 errors and 91 of 92 on X Out opportunities comes with a heavy price - a .252 OBP!
I have the $6.96M Ricky Henderson 1(0) with 26 assits through game 150 in a current league.
Another assits leader of note is the $3.51M Brett Butler card. Played three times with the results of 26, 25, and 24 assits. And that is from a 2(+1) player.
I find the dynamics of outfield assits very interesting. Often my teams with the better outfiled ranges and arms record lower assist totals than expected. I guess either HAL or teamsGM run less on the better outfields. For example:
Gwynn 1(-2), Geronimo 1(-5) and Simmons 1(-1) combined for 24 assists over an entire season
Charleston 1(-1), Colavito 2(-5), Murphy 1(-3), Clark (3(0) and Salmon 2(-4) combined for 19 assists.
These teams just don't measure up to Brett Butler in terms of assists!
