This seems to be a hot question, hell they even spent an entire 10 minute segment on BBTN talking about whether Ichiro can hit .400 or not this season, so I figured i'd ask you guys on here.

 

Ichiro will get about 700 AB's which means he would need 280 hits to have a .400 average, last year he had 262 hits in 704 AB's, so if he had 18 more hits last season he would have hit .400.

 

Mind you, Ichiro was hot all of last season except for April where he was in a mini-slump, if he never hit that small rut right at the beginning it's very possible that he could have gotten those 18 hits considering almost every other month he had 50+ hits.

 

He can do it, but he'll have to be damn near perfect.

 

What do you think?

If Bonds couldn't do it with the bazillion walks he got last season, Ichiro cant

No, but I think he can hit .385

Nah he won't do it

Nope, I don't think he will.

Never.

He'll hit .3994

As much as I'd like to see it, there's no way he'll do it.

naw, don't think so

 

he aint Ted Williams

He'd have to take a lot more walks to do it.

No one will ever hit .400 again.

It might be Jeremy Reed.

No. He doesnt get enough walks.

I voted that he will, though I only think he can, not will.
