By Voros McCracken...In the last few weeks, the prospect of hitting .400 has come up with regards to the amazing hot streak of Chipper Jones. Now that Lance Berkman, sitting at .399, has decided he wants in on the fun, I think I'll join in as well.

BBD: McCracken: .400
Published 5/21/2008 at BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog
BBD: McCracken: .400 Bravo (Angel), Voros, Bravo (Angel)! In the last few weeks, the prospect of hitting .400 has come up with regards to the amazing hot streak of Chipper Jones. Now that Lance Berkman, sitting at .399, has decided he wants in on the fun, I think I’ll join in as well. Since 1901, only eight players have ever accomplished this feat. Only one has accomplished it since 1930, and that was of course Ted Williams in 1941. What you may find more interesting is that there have been very few .400 seasons of 100 or more at bats in addition to the ones that qualified ...
Mr. McCracken,
How much does BABIP play a role in a batter hitting .400? How much can walks contribute to "eliminate" official at-bats, thus "raising" a batters BA?
Do you happen to know the league average BABIP for the corresponding years for players who hit .400?
