Batting Leaders so far (AVG/OBP/SLG), min. 20 PA, AVG 350

The one weak spot of iScore is that stats are only available on team and player level, so figuring out league leaders is manual and error prone.

HRs only mentioned if 3+, RBIs only at 10+

1. Chino Smith (HOM) 548/568/951, 4 HR, 14 RBI
2. Jud Wilson (KC) 483/583/793
3. Cool Papa Bell (STL) 439/465/732, 3 HR, 12 RBI
4. Mule Suttles (LIN) 438/486/969, 5 HR
5. Homerun Johnson (STL) 423/444/577
6. John Beckwith (LIN) 412/474/735, 10 RBI
7. Turkey Stearnes (CHI) 400/364/600, 3 HR
8. Alec Radcliff (HOM) 375/444/583
9. Vic Harris (HOM) 368/400/474
10. Oscar Charleston (LIN) 361/410/778, 3 HR
11. Rap Dixon (LIN) 353/371/441
12. Willard Brown (STL) 350/350/625, 3HR

Yes. there is no Hilldale player with an average of .350 or higher (not surprising given the team avg of .204...). 

Notable mention: Josh Gibson (Homestead catcher) with 4 HR, 12 RBI but "only" 324/419/730. Maybe I shouldn't cut the list off at a certain AVG but at an OPS of 1.000 or so?

Let's see how things look when we get closer to a hundred plate appearances for the everyday players, certainly many players listed above will see their numbers regress towards the mean (which is high enough for most of these career All Stars - when I build lineups I usually shove the one or two players with an average of .300 or lsess printed on their Stratomatic card to the very end of the batting order...).

It is remarkable that in both leagues the team with the best triple slash line is in second place, probably because these are also the teams with the worst ERA. I guess that proves the old adage that good offense beats good pitching (but really bad pitching drags you down no matter what).
