In 2021, [url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=10211793]Doc Stock[/url] had 487 plate appearances. He needed 16 more at bats to qualify.
In actuality he was 144 for 432. Give him 16 more at bats, and he was 144 for 448...a .321 batting average, still considerable more than [url=http://simdynasty.com/leaders.jsp?teamid=all&retired=all&stat=AVG&year=2021&display=20&submit=Go&leagueid=1202]Herzog's .316[/url].

In the Major League Rule Book, under rule 10.22 Minimum Standards For Individual Championships, it states: "any player with fewer than the required number of plate appearances whose average would be the highest, if he were charged with the required number of plate appearances shall be awarded the batting, slugging or on-base percentage championship".In 2021, [url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=10211793]Doc Stock[/url] had 487 plate appearances. He needed 16 more at bats to qualify.

The only MLB player to ever claim the batting crown via this route was Tony Gwynn in 1996 whose adjusted average of .353, after adding 4 at bats, were enough to top Ellis Burks and his .344.

Actually he only needed 15 more appearances, the minimum requirement is 502 as we should all remember from last season's Melky Cabrera fiasco.The only MLB player to ever claim the batting crown via this route was Tony Gwynn in 1996 whose adjusted average of .353, after adding 4 at bats, were enough to top Ellis Burks and his .344.

3.1 * 162 = 502.2. You can't have 0.2 at bats. so you really should need 503. If you round down to 502 that's only 3.099 PA/game.

Strange. I knew it was 502. But then I started over thinking it.3.1 * 162 = 502.2. You can't have 0.2 at bats. so you really should need 503. If you round down to 502 that's only 3.099 PA/game.

By fiasco, do you mean the idiocy of allowing players to bow out of statistical realities?

ABE has a hard time with unearned runs vs. earned runs so it's unlikely he's got this one figured out.Pages: 1
