Luis Arraez is the first player since 2000 to play 81 games while maintaining a .380 or higher average. Naturally, this puts him in the conversation of those who came close to hitting the illustrious .400. In this video, we look at 4 of those players who took the baseball world by storm coming close to finishing a full season with a .400 average.
Mistakes/Clarifications
5:51 - City of *Minneapolis
7:28 - I should've put a note on the graph that George Brett missed an entire month of the season (June 10th-July 10th). This is why his season flatlined at this point.
14:18 - Mutli

I see a lot of people asking why I didn’t cover Tony Gwynn’s 1994. I chose not to deliberately because A. To cover it means I’d have to discuss the ‘94 strike which I felt would’ve went against the overall theme of this video B. I believe Sportstorm covered everything there is to cover with Gwynn, including his historical ‘94 campaign. Either way, please check out And That’s Baseball’s video about the 1994 strike or Storm’s video on Gwynn for more information about each. 94 Strike: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MqVdRMH_Z6E.html Gwynn: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qfCvmAVmdXM.html

@tonywong8134 9 месяцев назад

I still think you could've covered it, even if briefly mentioning it by name. He hit .394 117 games into his team's season. All the players you mentioned in the video fizzled late into the season starting around the 90-100 game mark. I can't recall anyone since Ted Williams who hit for that high of an average that late into the season.

@BatFan1 9 месяцев назад

You didnt have to go into detail about the strike. It really is a diss that you did not include the one batter that actually was the closest to get to .400. NO ONE talks about Nomar's 2000 season when talking about possible .400 seasons. He finished at .372 and yet you start your video talking about the.380 mark

@chipyeahoo 9 месяцев назад

You could make an entire video about Gwynn’s quest for .400. The strike shortened season was a heartbreaker, ending at .394, but of course not a full season. Had he hit over .400 in 94 there would forever be an asterisk beside it. However he hit .351 in 84, .353 in 96, .358 in 93, .368 in 95, .370 in 87 and .372 in 97. It seems at least one of those seasons could have been covered. He was still at .402 on July 15th in 97 before falling below .400 yet hovering close to it for much of the rest of that season.

@swift_thegoob8598 9 месяцев назад

Yeah I understand that his 94 season was controversial but he still batted 370 one season and 360 in another so you could’ve talked ab that and you could’ve maybe said how his 94 for season was historic but it was controversial

Gwynn had numerous seasons comparable to those in this video, not just the strike shortened 94 season. His 97 season ended with a .372 average. He was still over .400 in mid July of that year. Gwynn could have his own quest for .400 video. That would be a cool one to see.

@nicholaskirchner3912 9 месяцев назад

I want to talk about Todd Helton in 2000. As far as I know, Helton is the only guy since Williams to have pulled off a .400 average with enough PA to qualify for the full-season title. Let me explain: Entering play on August 21, 2000, Helton had 176 hits in 442 AB -- a .398 average. Helton did the following in his first three ABs that day: - Single in the 1st - Lineout in the 4th - Single in the 6th As of that moment, Helton had 532 PA on the season. That's enough to full-season qualify for the batting title. He had 178 hits in 445 AB. That's a batting average of precisely .400. Helton finished the game by striking out in the 8th, and grounding out in the 9th. Thus he ended the day under .400, and he wasn't able to get back. Still: if he had quit playing for the season after that 6th inning single, he would have had a qualifying .400 BA season.

@hmhm856 9 месяцев назад

The ‘94 strike robbed us of possibly seeing the Expos in the World Series, but it robbed us of seeing the best hitter since Ted Williams hit .400. I’m talking about Tony Gwynn. I think he had a great shot of doing it. The only hitters to come close to Gwynn since has been Ichiro and Cabrera.

That was a strike shortened season unfortunately. However Gwynn did have several full seasons comparable to players in this video. He hit .372 in 97. He was still over .400 on July 15th of that season. Gwynn could be his own quest for .400 video.

@Ibhenriksen 9 месяцев назад

I think what really makes .400 extremely difficult besides dealing with like a million pitchers now is the media. The moment you're in that .400 conversation, the sports media will follow you inch by inch breathing down your neck and the pressure just continues to mount more and more. So it's impossible to just focus on the achievement when you have like a 360 angle of cameras following your every move.

@jordangreene8325 9 месяцев назад

Batting average matters, because getting on base matters.

@tonywong8134 9 месяцев назад

It matters but it's a bit overrated since it doesnt include walks, sacrifices, hbp, and lumps homeruns in with singles. Youd much rather have ohtani hitting than arraez since every statistical measure ohtani drives more runs and creates more runs than any other player in the league right now.

@tonywong8134 9 месяцев назад

Update 7-31-23: assuming luis reaches 607 at bats right now he needs to hit .441 the rest of the way to average .400. Basically he has no shot. A player who is hitting .377 has less than a 1% chance of hitting .441 over a 55 game span. As much as I would like to see it, I don't think Luis Arraez will do it. I just think that the best player to do it was Ichiro (and maybe Bonds...but he was on the juice) and he didn't really come that close to it and he was a better hitter than Luis. He hit .372 in 2004 getting the single season hits record. Gwynn hit .394 in a strike shortened season and easily had the best shot, but even for a guy like that he wouldn't replicate that season. It's ridiculous to assume anyone can. In order for Luis to reach .400, assuming he reaches 607 AB (4 ABs per game for the remaining 56 games) based on playing the rest of the season he needs to hit .433 the rest of the way. .433 is such an unfathomable number this day in age and this late into the season. He needs to get to 243 hits and needs 97 more hits the rest of the way to reach 400. With the 56 games remaining he has never hit anywhere close to that in any 56 game stretch during his career and it would be extremely improbable for him to do so. If he gets more than 607 AB then he needs a lower than .433 average to get .400. If he gets fewer ABs then he needs a higher than .433 average to get .400.

Batting average should absolutely be acknowledged when measuring pure hitting abilities. But walking and power are also a thing, and that’s why people use other stats. Me personally, I like to look at Aaron Gleeman’s Gross Production Average: ((1.8*OBP)+SLG)/4)+.02 That stat has the same all time average as batting average, and a similar standard deviation, and has about an 86.2% correlation to teams scoring runs.

Batting average, a counting stat divided by a counting stat, is beautiful in a way that BABIP, FIP, WRC+, OPS+, and OAA aren't, even if it's a century and a half old measure of someone's rate of success. It's not about how hard or far you hit the ball, the home field you play in, how likely it was for the ball you hit to become a hit and why that should matter, or the amount of standard deviations between you and the "average". It's about consistently getting positive results for your team over a prolonging period of chances to produce, and like all stats, it has its flaws and fluctuations, its uses and predictability. Whether the threshold or number for "average", "good", "legendary" means anything to you or the batter, to someone, it means keeping your head up for an entire year, no matter the fanfare or perceived luck and exploitation, and doing what some believe is impossible in this era. Numbers can spell a story, a feeling, or an incredible culmination of effort in a way that music and words can only occasionally hold a candle to.

Wow, the video totally missed out on Gwynn, which was the closest anyone has come since 1941.

Ted Williams, the last one to hit 400 entered the final day of the 1941 season with a 400 batting average and instead of sitting out the scheduled doubleheader against the A’s, a move that would clinch him 400, he played both games, went 6-for-8, and finished with a .406 average.

You should do a Replacing Bonds video like you did for Chipper and Jeter. Giants haven’t had a consistent left fielder since him

What is most amazing is Rogers Hornsby who averaged over .400 for 5 consecutive years. He didn’t hit over .400 every year, but his average was over .400. Will not be approached ever.

I discovered this channel through a collaboration you had with someone, or a throwaway mention by someone. I know I hit you up with shoegaze bands on Twitter afterwards, though.

Tony Gwynn would have hit 400 in 96 before the strike shortened season

@tonywong8134 9 месяцев назад

Maybe...he's certainly the only one I remember since Ted Williams who hit over .390 117 games into his team's season. He had the best chance for sure.

Disappointed not to see chipper jones’’08 season on here since he was over .400 for a long time that season but overall cool video

@bruksphantom 9 месяцев назад

He started to fall off during June. Most of the criteria in this video revolves around the batters hitting .400 or near .400 during/post All-Star Break. Still an impressive season from Chipper considering his age (hit .364).
