Could Cabrera hit .400 this year?

[fan_since79]

Last 14 games: .424/.477/.847

 

7 HR, 17 RBI

 

BAbip .400

 

 

Season average .387

 

21 BB, 23 SO

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

No, he doesn't get infield singles. 

[RallyMo]

no

[jshep]

I doubt it

[Troutipoo27]

The only way he does it is if he faced Blanton 75% of the time.

[Chimi]

I agree. Speed is a huge part of getting .400 and he has none.

[fan_since79]

How about .380? Do I hear .380?

[Brent Maguire]

Probably not. .350 is very possible though.

[fan_since79]

.350 is a given.

[VariousCrap]

.350-.380 is where he will end up.

 

The dude is a beast.

[gotbeer]

Over a year it's tough.  Think Gwynn was the closest at .394 (F'N MLB Strike).  And he was a turtle.

 

Ichiro had a .372 season.  And he was a singles machine.  

 

But it would be cool if someone was within shot going into the last few weeks.  

[Troutipoo27]

.350 is a given.

not really. He has never batted .350.

[Troutipoo27]

.344 was his best.

[Jason]

remember when the Angels could of had him? At least they got Pujols and Hamilton.

[Angel Oracle]

Somewhere in the .360s, and when was the last time someone even hit .370?

[AngelsLakersFan]

Nomar?

[fan_since79]

Ichiro hit .372 in 2004. Nomar did the same four years earlier.

 

Gwynn's .394 in 1994 (strike season) and George Brett's .390 in 1980 are the highest in MLB since 1941, when Ted Williams hit .406.

[Brent Maguire]

not really. He has never batted .350.

If he hits around .335-.340 the rest of the year he'll be above .350 so it's possible.

[fan_since79]

Rogers Hornsby. 1924:

 

.424 BA

89 BB, 39 SO in 624 plate appearances.

[Docwaukee]

no speed.  no way. 

 

Even a roided up bonds couldn't do it. 

[Punk]

Nope.

[Troutipoo27]

If he hits around .335-.340 the rest of the year he'll be above .350 so it's possible.

limits

[Count Orlok]

I think he's more likely to eat 400 burritos in one sitting than hit .400

[AngelsFaninGA]

Todd Helton hit .372 in 2000. I remember him being around .390 late in the season and then going into a slump at the very end. 

 

Edit: he entered September with a .395 average.

[Mark68]

The pendulum has swung back towards pitching.

 

.400 ain't happening.
