No way. i was saying to someone last night that it is comparable to williams .400 batting average. w/ today's pitching these 2 records are going to stand for a whileThe difference between the pitching of today vs the pitching back then is relative. You can say the same thing about the hitting of today vs the hitting back then also.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Williams Avg of .406 is no doubt one of sprts greatest records which still stnads today.But you also have to take into account that there were less teams with less pitchers back then so he faced a lot of the same men more so then then hitters facing more pitchers today....

He batted something like .225 for the month of April last year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the guy with the record had something like a .422 average. Ichiro's lousy April didn't really prevent him from hitting .400, it's the fact he doesn't walk much that did. I mean, despite a lousy April, he still broke the record for base hits. Batting average is simply a percentage of how many times you get a hit per at-bat. He had way too many at-bats, and since walks only count as a plate appearance (not an at-bat) his batting average would have skyrocketed if he had walked more.
