They are not too high. Tony Gwynn hit .394 in 1994 or something, Brett hit .390 one year..

Bonds hit .370 and Ichiro hit like .362. Heck Piazza hit like .362 one year.

You tellin me Ichiro couldn't hit .500 if he knew what was coming? Gwynn would hit about .550 to .600 (if he were still around).

And I did take into account hitting screaming liners right at people. I think it's fair to say average would hover around .400 with the leader hitting near .500.
