Next to 3000 hits? Maybe no one?

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.

Here's something interesting (to me anyhow). The two best players with RCs in 2015 are both shortstops, Lindor and Correa. Same for 2016 -- Turner and Seager. The odds have to be somewhat against that.

Trea Turner has 14 hits in his last 5 games. If he keeps up that pace, I will change my opinion on him getting to 3000.

He had seasons of 195 and 194. He’s up to 158 now and halfway to 3,000.

His next 200 hit season, IF he has one, will also be his last. I don't think his chances are realistic. Machado has a much better chance, and even he is very far from a lock.

Freeman just a couple shy of 2400 now. Still at the top his game or close, hitting .300.
