As of today he is 70/140 .500 BA

With 15 regular season games left and an average of 3.78 ABs/game if he goes hit less for the remainder of the season (59 ABs) he finishes at .357 BA.

For Rhymes to finish at .400 (if he indeed finishes with 59 more ABs) he needs just over 8 more hits. That's a .135 BA for the remainder of the regular season.

If the tigers play the maximum post season games including SEC tourney it would come out to 20 additional games. At 4 ABs per postseason game Rhymes would come to the plate 80 more times. That's 279 ABs for the season. If this is this case then he is only halfway through his season and might have a hard (er) time breaking single season BA record at .410 needing 45 more hits (115 total) That's a .324 BA for the remainder of the season.

I calculated the remaining projected regular season ABs at 3.78 ABs/game (his current average) and the post season at 4 ABs/ game just to be a bit conservative. If he continues batting 3.78 times/game then he needs less hits and if the tigers win the CWS without 4 losses in the tournament he will have less at bats. I will not calculate anything less than a CWS victory.

So he can sleepwalk into a 400 average. Pretty ridiculous. I hope he pushes it up and is way above .500 or at least breaks that mark. That would be pretty legendary.

There was a thread posted about his average, I didn't see one that projected. If so, don't read this one. I'm pretty sure the title is self explanatory.

Its half way into the season (with post season games added) and his average is still getting better

Ha i was curious whether or not he had a legit shot at the record. This gives a pretty good idea where he can end up if he slumps at all which it doesn't look like he'll do anytime soon.

Most of your math is off. Either use a calculator next time or put the pipe down.

ETA: He'll break the LSU record.
