Records are made to be broken & if anyone is worthy of reaching .400 in a season, it’s David Wright. A great player, a great leader, and a great human being!
The baseball season is about to complete its second month. There is a potential story brewing that could dominate the sports media this summer. David Wright and the possibility that he could end the season with an above .400 batting average. While the New York Mets have been average this season and have not had a great season in a couple of years, David Wright could vault the team into the sports media mainstream for the next few months.

I agree that this is a great story for both the Mets and David Wright, they both could use the positive publicity. I do think because Wright is such a streak hitter it is a stretch that he will end the season at 400 or above. However this is a strange baseball season and strange things do happen

Not saying that Wright breaking the record is a slam dunk, but I hope he does. He has batted over .300 in five of his eight years in the bigs so we already know he can hit. Is it likely than he bats over .400 at the end of this season no, but stranger things have happened as you said..

I just don’t see it happening. He’s a great player but .400 is just so difficult, especially in this day and age of the hard throwing pitchers combining that with more off-speed pitches. It’s not out of the question but I would say highly unlikely.
