Ted Williams of the Red Sox. Williams won the MLB batting title in 1957 with a .388 average at the age of 39 (was born August 30, 1918). Williams also won the 1958 AL batting title (.328) at the age of 40. Richie Ashburn won the MLB title that season with a .350 batting average.
Has any baseball player hit 400 and failed to win the batting title?
In MLB, yes. Shoeless Joe Jackson hit .408 in 1911 and lost the batting title to Ty Cobb who hit .420. Ty Cobb hit .401 in 1922 and lost the batting title to George Sisler who hit .420.
How many at bats do you need to win a major league batting title?
"At least 502 official at bats are needed to qualify for a batting title. MLB uses a calculation of (number of games * 3.1) to determine the number. Since a full major season consists of 162 games, 162 multiplied by 3.1 equals 502." This is incorrect. MLB requires this many Plate Appearances to qualify, not at bats. A player could theoretically go 1-1, then get 501 walks, hit by pitches, and sacrifices to qualify. The correct answer for minimum AT BATS, to qualify: is 1. Even taking aside the semantics of PAs vs ABs, a player can still win the batting title with fewer than 502 PAs. If his average is high enough, that theoretically adding on extra outs till he would reach 502 and STILL be highest, he can still win it. [Or any other PA based stat like OBP, SLG, OPS]
