Well, rookie, I see you wasted no time...

Standard MLB League w/ largely default settings. Auto-calc modifiers based on default 2018 league totals.

- Breaks Ichiro's single season hits record by four (266)
- First player to hit .400 in a season since Ted Williams in 1941 (101 years)
- 1 MVP award

I've only seen a handful of people hit .360+ in all of the leagues I've gone through, but this is the first I've ever seen anyone hit .400; let alone, a rookie.

Anyone else seen it happen, rookie or otherwise, in a Standard league?

Good god! That's insane! I've been playing this game for a long time (not quite sure how long, but at least 10 years) and I've never seen anyone come close to hitting .400.

That's pretty cool....closest I have ever had was a guy the Reds found in the Mexican League who was just a hitting machine, I think he was a fictional guy created by the game whose name was Pedro Lopez or Lopes. He was batting .407 with 10 games left in the season and ended going 2 for 40 or something like that and ended up hitting .391 for the year. He played another 7 season for the Reds and never hit better than .330 in a single season.

Wow! That's awesome.

Looks like you got your J2 International FA money's worth in one season.

Good lord. You should post occasional updates throughout his career if you have the time/energy.

I've seen one .400 hitter in OOTP, and it was back in in OOTP6. He was sitting at .400 with a couple of meaningless games at the end of the season to play (playoff spot was already clinched), so I sat him. The AI went and used him as a pinch-hitter in both games, and he went 2-2.

Unfortunately, he isn't one of my guys. I'm playing as Atlanta... but Arizona sure got their money's worth. haha

I just got an email at the end of the season saying he had joined the .400 club. I was like "no way he played a full season", then I saw 600 AB's and was like wwhhhhattt?

Gotta add MVP to the list now...

jimmysthebestcop · 07-18-2018, 10:14 PM

Wow I've never seen anything like this guy

For sure keep us updated. If he can keep hitting like that I'd love to see his career totals.

in the real world I think that's the only way to get .400 hitter again is when scouts not so sure about a player.weak spots yet as where to position the players or where to pitch to him

I love seeing that in this game. I had a rookie give Colorado Rockies player of 78 homeruns and they beat me in the world series that year and that's when I noticed him
