Brooks Eliot is starting off hot after winning Monty Series MVP. He's currently hitting .427 through the first month+. There hasn't been a player to hit over .400 since Manuel Aguilar in 2003. L'Arch got close with .399 in 2042. Can Brooks pull it off?

No way? I think it's likely at this point. I'm putting him around .350 to end the season.

.300 career hitter. I think closer to that than .400 is a reality.

Jeez, did he seriously bump his infield range? You didn't even consider him a shortstop at one point.

I certainly didn't, but he improved his fielding a couple seasons ago. He's more than passable at SS now.

On a related note, I didn't know Aguilar was still the single-season leader in batting AVG. For some reason I thought Puckett had topped his .413...and just a few seasons after the tragedy.

I think staying over . 350 would be very hard in the current league environment.

I had some roster management fails and Eliot got exhausted and suddenly went cold. Bye bye .400.

i'm not rooting for the guy to fail, but he is now hitting closer to .330 like I put as his ceiling than .400

I wonder if he's had .400 months before?

A .300 hitter has maybe a 5% chance of hitting over .350 for a month.

It's maybe a half a percent to hit over .400 in a month. So he was probably super lucky.

Never expected to hit .400, but always fun when a guy starts the season on fire. Always hope.

We've still got a handful of guys hitting over .370. Impressive!
