What should your average look like?
I’m curious to see what everyone else thinks.
I’ve run many teams(at least 2) a year for over 10 years. I always tell my lesser team (really rec with some good guys) they should be at about .500 minimum. (Coed) and my better hitters should be around .600, for me personally to be happy.
My more competitive teams (coed or men’s) I’m looking for .600 or more easily. Im sitting at around .750-.800 but also in one of my better years. Usually around .700.
For tourney ball I set my sights on .700 minimum. I’m also counting walks so it’s more of a on base percentage more than a batting average if we’re really looking to get into it.
What are other people really looking at when they’re thinking of what their players should be hitting or even looking for when picking people up?
