Chicago White Sox: Tim Anderson’s batting title is a great accomplishment
In an age where batting average isn’t quite valued the way it once was, Chicago White Sox SS Tim Anderson’s batting title should still be considered a great accomplishment. Getting a hit is the objective of pretty much any hitter at the plate, and Anderson did that at a higher rate than anyone else in all of baseball.
He barely qualified with 518 plate appearances (502 is needed), but Tim Anderson led all the American League in hitting with a .335 batting average, finishing 8 points ahead of the next competitor. He is just the third Chicago White Sox player to do so in team history.
