.400 Batting Averages for College Feeder League

ashantewarrier · 07-19-2011, 02:40 PM

All top 20 hitters in my college feeder league seem to have .400 batting averages each season. Any idea on how to use auto-calc to get realistic batting averages and stats for a College feeder league with a schedule of 62 games?

Just curious... What do you consider more realistic? Do you want closer to MLB averages? Because looking at this year's stats, there seem to be 15-20 Division I hitters who hit above .400. Are you seeing significantly more than that?

Are you suggesting that their averages are too high? It doesn't seem all that out of whack if you look at the NCAA's list of D1 batting average leaders:

Hmm... I should have looked more closely to the actual averages of NCAA Div1 batting leaders. In reviewing actual batting averages, then .400 batters do not seem as "out of whack."

Thanks for this bit of information.

I just saw the .400 and thought we were talking about .400 Software Studios. *shudder*

The ill-fated .400 Software Studios? Developers of the Total Pro Football game? *Gasp*

.400 for college and .500 for high school isnt really uncommon.

I can't be bothered to look it right now, but isn't the HS record something like .625?

I have some good, some bad memories of that company. Mostly bad memories of Joe...

joe mauer hit over .500 his high school career, and .605 his senior year. but i took a quick loop around the googles, and saw over .700 for a few state records in high school. looks like from the few places i saw, there should probably be a handful or two of players every year hitting over .500 in high school. the only problem--at least what i have found--is that its tough to get high batting averages without sacrificing pitching. but i personally have learned to live with high .300's low .400 for the most part because i like to have some pitchers with decent stats as well, so its not so one sided.
