No one has ever hit .500 for an entire season. Ted Williams was the last player to hit above .400 and it will probably never happen again. To be considered a top-flight MLB player, .300 is the benchmark. Needless to say, yeah if you could hit .500 you would be considered pretty good.

Hitting .500 means that you have to get a hit once every two times you are pitched to. A .300 batting average is considered great and .500 would be a superman average.
