There are some who think Kensuke Kondo could¡¯ve hit .400 last season.
That had a herniated disc not sidelined the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters catcher, the position at which he¡¯s listed but rarely actually plays anymore (he¡¯s mostly the DH or in the outfield), for most of the season, he could¡¯ve scaled one of the game¡¯s highest mountains.
It¡¯s a pretty lofty claim, to say the very least. Batting .400 is virtually unheard of these days. Even flirting with it late enough in the year is enough to cause a stir throughout the baseball world.
