Comparatively speaking, what do u say is the .300 level in softball? What's the Mendoza line(.200)?

I think we need to establish at what level you play at. Also batting .700 in tourneys is a big difference from batting .700 in some beer league. I say

I say .700 is the SP .300
I hit about .680-.700 for most of the summer. My lowest average ever. And this was coed.
Toward the end of summer I picked up 3 of my old mens leagues and started to light it up, batting .890-.900
Just last weekend I played 9 games and batted .950

Damn .950 is insane. That would take a ton of concentration and no beer!

I would say .600 in league is average. Batting .750 or above is ****. My best female hitter in league batted .400 and my worst was .083

I would worry more about OBP and don't count getting on by errors, fielder's choices, etc...

If that isn't a typo then you need to sell your gear and find another hobby :eek::confused:

If you are playing competitively, anything .600 + is definitely helping your team win games...

The whole .800 + avg stuff is isolated, I don't care who you are, you aren't hitting .800 over a season if you are playing competitive!!!!

sorry, it's worded really bad. It made it sound like YOUR worse avg. was that. I was about to say if you're hitting that bad w/ the stick you got then you need to sell 'em, get your $$$ back and just get a hammer or cyclone at that point.

problem with this is there is really not too many teams that keep real books like MLB to tell you what a real hit is vs. an error! I would say if you are playing in the conference, and batting .700, then that is the equivalent of a .300 hitter.

I've always tried to keep the guys hitting .500+ (if they can do that their spot is "secure") and get on their asses if they dip under....
a team average of <.500 is a disappointment (we're an E team)



I'd say baseball .300= .550
mendoza (.200) .450


also I'm sure I miss some here and there but our books are kept pretty tidy.

I lead my 20-0 team with .706 OBP in a class C league this year. I was robbed more then my fair share, but had some poopy shots fall in as well. In C or D tourney ball, it would probably be .100 points lower. My point is. League has too many chitty fielders to get an accurate batting average. Huge inflation vs. poor fielding teams. It all depends on level (quality of opposition). A pitcher hitting .300 in class A could easily be over .500 in class D.

Good averages for serious tourney ball is .500-.625 depending on level and position. A defensive wizard @ SS can still help the team with less then a .400 OBP as well as a very good pitcher.

At any level .300 batting average is subpar. Only very talented pitchers and defensive wizards @ SS can get away with a lack of offensive production.

Or a faulty stroke of a keyboard!!!


Welcome to SBF's the home of the .950 hitter... you do realize you would have to hit 35/36 to hit your .950 right?? And technically it that would be .972 if you had hit 34/36 it would of been .944. Was it a Rec LEague Tourny??

So I am guessing you made a solid 2 outs the whole tourny??
