Next to 3000 hits? Maybe no one?

Altuve and Machado both look like they have a real shot. Altuve will end the season needing 600 hits with 5 years till 40. It would be a shame if a lockout derailed their chances. As much as I hate Altuve he is an amazing player and fun to watch if he's not playing my Yankees.

The GOAT Mike Trout will get there.

Trea Turner could be a sleeper. He’s 32 like Betts but is about 300 hits short. However, he’s on an upward trend whereas Betts seems to have lost something this year. Currently leading the NL in hits for a possible third time.

Turner only has 1494 hits and is 32. He would have to average 150 hits per year until he's 42. Seems unlikely.

I recently picked up his card as he now has a good chance to end up with some nice career numbers, but 3000 hits seems unlikely to me as well.

I am surprised by Betts' year to date, expected better of him.

Definitely would be tough but he gets up into the 170-195 range when fully healthy and age doesn’t seem to slowing him. He’s swiped 28 bags so far this year too. Maybe there are some 200 hit seasons ahead of him.

His next 200 hit season will be his first. As a Phillies fan, I'd love to see a bunch of them, but I'm not holding my breath.
