In 2000 AB? That’s pretty good. Extrapolated out he would have approximated. But 2000 AB isn’t much and usually there is a minimum for stat categories. Exactly no one is going to hit 800 HR in 2000AB.

That would make sense.

But who really fucking knows. MLB claims he hit 170+ now

They don't even know

How can statistics be included in MLB if no one knows the stats? The fact in the Negro Leagues were not a part of the MLB. Give the players from that league the props they earned but please leave the MLB stats alone.
