Ryan Braun’s inexplicable decision not to get one hit, then sit out (he’d actually have needed three hits at least) means that Jose Reyes is your 2011 batting champ, at .337. He’s the first Met to accomplish the feat.
Dave Magadan, Cleon Jones, Ryan Thompson, John Olerud and Tim Spehr all failed to do it, with some in that group coming closer than others.
