| After an agonizing 6 game losing streak, losing all 6 games by one run with 3 in extra innings, the Phillies come out flying on all cylinders scoring in each of the first four innings and get back in the win column. Brett Myers helps his own cause with two hits including a double, and scores once and drives in a run. That puts Myers' batting average (now don't forget, he is a pitcher) at an unbelievable .526, 10 hits in 19 atbats. I can't find any batting stats for individual pitcher besides their average, at bats, hits and homeruns in the SOM, if there is anything like that in the game let me know, but I believe it would be Myers' 4th double of the season. Myers, as we know, won't go the whole season due to injury so will have no chance of possible beating the best hitting season for a pitcher in history. If you are curious, in modern times since the DH rule was adopted in 1973, the top 5 (minimum of 50 plate appearances) are: .356 for Orel Hershiser in 1993 .354 for Mark Portugal in 1994 .344 for Mike Hampton in 2002 .339 for Micah Owings in 2007 .333 for Don Robinson in 1980 and for Rick Rhoden in 1984 As far as I can find from some research online, the highest average ever for a pitcher in one season was a .433 for Walter Johnson in 1925. |
