Hoerner 1 for 4 tonight at Wrigley Field, still at .302. He probably needs at least a couple hits per game in the final 4 games to tie or overtake Turner  (.305) for the NL batting crown. You have to be fantastically good at hitting a baseball to have a .300 average in the major leagues, so hat's off to Hoerner!

{Incredibly valuable statistical analysis deeted}

Conclusion? Strike zone is larger, pitchers have more weapons, lower batting average. Will MLB lower the mounds in response? Probably not.

Will automated ball-strike calls partly sove this problem?
