| Posted | Discussion |
| July 13 hurdler52 22 posts | I would appreciate any help I can get with the following. How do you determine the minimum number of plate appearances in a season or tournament in order for a player to win a batting title? I have seen 2.4 X number of games on the schedule, but do not know if that is the accepted number. |
| July 14 DBurke23 Men's 50 22 posts | In Major League Baseball, a player needs 3.1 plate appearances per game to qualify for the batting title. this, of course, is based on a 9 inning game. since we play 7 innings, you multiply 3.1 times .7778 (7/9) and that comes out to 2.4 plate appearances per game. |

| July 15 hurdler52 22 posts | Good point stattad, so do you have a different formula? |
| July 15 Duke Men's 65 908 posts | I do not have a formula. I just institute an average of 2 at bats per game/season to qualify for the average leader(s) per game/season. This takes into account what stattad eluded to(batting 9 or 15 players), AND, the fact that we do not always get 7 innings in every game with the time limits.
