It’s the middle of June. Aaron Judge entered Friday night’s game in Boston hitting .392. We’re deep enough into the season where we can actually start asking the question:&nbsp;

On one hand, it is the easiest answer of all: almost certainly not. There is a reason why we are now 84 years past Ted Williams hitting .406 in 1941, and why that remains one of the last true Holy Grails of the sport. There is a reason why less than a handful of hitters have even given .400 a real run, and none since 1994.&nbsp;

Can he hit .400? {ai:summary}<p>As of mid-June, Aaron Judge is hitting .392, raising the question of whether he can achieve a .400 batting average. Historically, this feat is extremely rare, with Ted Williams being the last to do it in 1941, and no player has come close since 1994. </p><p>The odds are heavily against him, as fewer than a handful of hitters have seriously contended for the .400 mark in recent decades. #sports</p>

The Ted Williams comparisons aren’t fair to Aaron Judge
