Everyone with 5000+ ABs and a .340+ BA is in the Hall. Doesn't matter what their best season was.
edited to add: The best career batting average of players with 5000 or more at-bats who haven't been inducted is .324 (Babe Herman), followed by Helton and Cabrera at .316. Last edited by darwinbulldog; 03-14-2019 at 08:30 AM.

But still ending up with a .324 career average? Good question. I guess I'd put it around a 50-60% chance, but I would contrast that with the probability that Terry would have gotten in had his .400 season been a .393 instead and his career average still been .341. I'd still put his odds at better than 95%.

Terry was a rung or two above Herman for the year and for their careers, but the hitting in 1930 makes Lefty Grove’s pitching seem surreal. Terry and Herman not so much. AL batting numbers in 1930 were a bit less than the NL, but Grove was a good part of the reason for the difference.

He was also a dead ringer for Baron von Richthofen. That should count for something.
