WAR does not like singles hitters, that's for sure. Especially Fangraphs' version.

I genuinely believe had the strike not occurred in 1994, that Tony Gwynn would've hit .400.

That being said, Arraez is putting on quite the display, even though it's early in the season.

And Fred McGriff, who hit 34 home runs in that shortened season, would easily have hit 7+ more, and would be in the Hall as an automatic choice, with his 500 clean career homers.

Those are the 2 things that bothered me most about that strike, besides it killing my baseball card business for a few years.

Baseball Reference and ESPN, have him tied for 7th among position players, which seems about right to me, without delving into all the various statistics.

5 for 5 game on Friday got him back up to .390. Hitting .400 for the season seems unlikely, but it would be fun to see him make a run at it.

Is Joe Jackson the only 400 hitter since 1900 not in the Hall?

If you don't include the Negro Leagues, it looks like it.
