Ted would hit .400 in today's game. He was incredibly talented, great eyesight and if he had all the scouting reports, video, full body armor at the plate etc, I think he would do exceptionally well.
He was big on being mentally prepared for at-bats back then. I imagine with video and such, he would have been very difficult for pitchers to deal with.
Many regard his 'Science of Hitting' to still be the single best resource on hitting ever made.
I wish I had a copy of that book back when I played.

It's incredible. Bought a copy back in high school after reading this SI article which featured Ted, Wade Boggs and Don Mattingly sitting around talking about hitting.

If you love hitting and respect those guys, this article from 1986 in an absolute must read,. Still have the tattered hard copy I carried around with me in high school.
Only regret is that they did not also include Tony Gwynn, who Ted absolutely loved.
As for Ted, yeah...he'd be incredible. Assuming he came up today with his hand/eye coordination and desire matched with today's training and tech. Keep in mind the guy was basically the first to watch film of opposing pitchers and would chart them before most were doing anything like that. He was fanatical about the process.
