Where Have All the .400 Hitters Gone ?
Posted By: Chad
I think a lot of hitters have the patient and desire to work a count, etc., Bonds being the most obvious. I think the reason there are no .400 hitters has more to do with increasing quality of the competition. It's not that the players are getting worse, it's that they're getting better and so it's harder to dominate. I don't think it's a coincidence that there hasn't been any .400 hitters since the game integrated and opened itself up to an infusion of foreign talent, not to mention the revolutions in funneling talent to the majors through a Branch Rickey style minor league system. There's just a lot more talent top to bottom now than there used to be.
