How Ichiro Could Hit .400
Ichiro is on fire, with another 5 hits on Saturday. Through 135 games, he is batting .379, which begs the obvious question, “What does he need to do between now and the end of the season to bat .400?” which nobody has done since Ted Williams in 1941, when he actually hit .406 for the season.
By my rough calculations, with 27 games to go and 83.3% of the season already over, Ichro would have to hit .505 for the remainder of the season to bat .400. If he keeps getting more 5-hit games, there just might be a chance that he could do it. At least Mariner fans have something to root for in the last month of the season.
