What do you consider to be a good batting average in baseball?

A batting average is a statistic in baseball that measures the percentage of times a batter gets a hit out of all their official at-bats. It is calculated by diving the number of hits by the number of at-bats. A good batting average is typically considered to be around .300, meaning that the batter gets a hit about 3 out of every 10 at-bats. However, it is important to note that the average batting average has declined in recent years, and a .270 batting average is now considered to be good.

There are a number of factors that can affect a batter's batting average, including their hitting style, the quality of their opponents' pitching, and the size of the ballpark. Some batters are naturally better hitters than others, and some pitchers are more difficult to hit against than others. The size of the ballpark can also affect a batter's average, as a smaller ballpark will make it easier for a batter to hit a home run.

Ultimately, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of what is a good batting average. However, a .300 batting average is generally considered to be a good benchmark, and a batter with a batting average of .270 or higher is typically considered to be a good hitter.
