Will there be a .400 hitter in 2020?

[Judge Jude]

Solano has an XBA of .320, which is really good - not that I expect him to hit .320 the rest of the year, either.

so yes - no.

Aaron won two batting titles and finished in the top 5 in the NL an amazing 11 times.

and for the bulk of his career, he battled fellow Black players for the top 5 slots like Mays and FRobinson (and Banks, Clemente, and others) while Mantle, for instance, had thisclose to zero Black batting rivals in his career (FRobby arrived in AL when Mantle was all but done).

Blackmon is hitting .500/.527/.721 with an xAVG of .394. If anyone has a shot to do it this year, it's him.

The baseball jinx works once again as Blackmon ended his 15 game hit streak with an 0-4 day, in a game where there were 34 total hits. Blackmon was even on deck when Trevor Story (who had two hits himself) grounded into a double play to end the game...

For another week at most

That .485 BABIP has just a biiiiiit to fall

I was too pessimistic. Solano's .400 average lasted 9 games after that post, he hit .306 in that span which is more like it.

His BABIP is down to .386.


Blackmon is also coming back to earth for what it's worth.

Currently, DJ LeMahieu is hitting .402. He doesnt have enough PA's to qualify yet but should soon. Also, Jose Iglesias is hitting .405. He doesnt have enough PA's either, and may have trouble getting enough ROS. Blackmon currently is hitting .346. The highest BA among qualifiers is Trea Turner at .368.

[Judge Jude]

Cano is hitting .380 and also close to qualifying.

Hmmm...DJ LeMahieu, Charlie Blackmon, Jose Iglesias, Trea Turner...

The Sesame Street song "One of these is not like the other one...." is going through my head.

Robinson Cano?
