In response to "Here's why hitting .400 is impossible. Luis Arraez is 7 for his last 28. That's a .250 average. It has dropped his overall BA from .401 to .387. " by David

If he puts up like a .380 average, I think it'd be more impressive than anything we've seen in our lifetimes.

Pitchers in Gwynn's time period were just starting to do what every pitcher can now -- throw 98 with movement.

Brett/Carew...the list of guys who did that started and stopped with Nolan.

93-97 Gwynn batted above .350 for 5 straight years. -- nm - budice Jul 2, 12:46 3
- IN 1993-97, the annual MLB batting average (w/ pitchers included) was .265-270 every year. It's *up* to .248 this year. - Will Hunting Jul 2, 12:49 1
  - Id just rather respect what Gwynn did than to take away from it -- nm - budice Jul 2, 12:51
- Best hitter of my lifetime. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 12:48
Larry Walker flirted with it—If anyone hits .400, for the season(with the required ABs)…that person gets MVP. Arraez is the only one who could win vs. - Flavorize Jul 2, 12:44
