The Quest For .400

Luis Arraez is the first player since 2000 to play 81 games while maintaining a .380 or higher average. Naturally, this puts him in the conversation of those who came close to hitting the illustrious .400. In this video, we look at 4 of those players who took the baseball world by storm coming close to finishing a full season with a .400 average.

Mistakes/Clarifications
5:51 - City of *Minneapolis
7:28 - I should've put a note on the graph that George Brett missed an entire month of the season (June 10th-July 10th). This is why his season flatlined at this point.
14:18 - Mutli
