I'm definitely open to discussing this here rather than in edit summaries! My initial view is that if we are going to rank players as tied based on their 4 d.p. average then we should show that, or rank them on an unrounded figure. If we have well-sourced statistics for hits and at bats, then I don't think it is WP:OR / WP:SYNTH to do the basic divisions ourselves. Spike 'em ( talk) 09:11, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Howdy from a Community College python programming course! QUESTION mostly to sports fans cum MLB fans cum MLB fans who LOVE math: Should this article mention Rounding?? e.g. a Batting Avg of .2855, does that truncate to .285 or round to .286 on TV? Peeace. PS. Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks. From Peter aka Vid2vid ( talk) 03:25, 13 September 2019 (UTC).

There is a discussion at Talk:List of Major League Baseball career batting average leaders (and previously WikiProject baseball) that includes mention of this article and so editors of this article may be interested in that discussion. Best, Barkeep49 ( talk) 15:11, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
