This article is out of date
This is a great article, meticulously researched. Unfortunately, it now needs to be rewritten. Much of the information is no longer true. Major League Baseball has rightly conferred “Major League” status on the so-called Negro Leagues, which means that a number of players need to be added. Most significantly, the last .400 hitter is not Ted Williams, but now Artie Wilson, who batted .435 in 1948. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fielding99 (talk • contribs) 19:19, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Wilson played in 28 games that year (130 PA), out of Birmingham's 89 games played for the season. It can be mentioned in this article, but it's not a headliner. Rgrds. --Bison X (talk) 19:59, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Added context and listed who was the last in each league. The history of this question is complex. A lot of people think "Ted Williams" in answer to this question, and that was the truth for a half-century; the lede of the article needs to recognize Williams' place in the history of this question, while at the same time explaining the new landscape in the wake of the MLB's retroactive recognition of the Negro Leagues. -- Blorblowthno (talk) 18:31, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

With MLB finalizing it's research to update leaderboards that began in 2020 Tetelo Vargas is not considered to have qualified for hitting .471 due to not having 3.1 plat e appearances per team game and Josh Gibson hitting .466 in 1943 should be listed as having the highest single season average. His career .372 average should also be mentioned as the highest all time while the article still retains references to Ty Cobb's .366 being the highest ever.

Negro Leagues
Players in the Negro leagues do not count as MLB players. CoreyWarburton3 (talk) 08:55, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
