It's time to officially call it like it is: Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez is chasing baseball's first .400 batting average since Ted Williams in 1941. After a 5-for-5 outburst against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night, the 26-year-old is sitting at precisely .400 with 73 team games and 282 plate appearances in the books.

MLB teams and hitters have embraced the run-scoring efficiency of power out of necessity. They recognize the folly, for most hitters, of trying to string together multiple hits against. Arraez is not so much a throwback as an outlier whose skills are so finely tuned he can recall an era where fastballs weren't as fast, breaking balls didn't break as much and strikeouts were failures instead of the cost of doing business.
By reaching .400 on Monday night, Arraez matched the Atlanta Braves legend Chipper Jones, who dipped below the line — never to return — in the 74th game of the 2008 season. Here are their marks, and the dates after which Arraez could surpass them based on the Marlins’ schedule:107 games: John Olerud in 1993, July 31Hitting .400 in 2023 would be a much bigger feat than in earlier years
