At the moment Raleigh has the lowest batting average all-time during a season with 50 or more HRs. Next on the list are Alonso (2019) and Bautista (2010) at .260

It’s not a sure thing but it seems likely that at season’s end, Raleigh and Schwarber will be 1-2 on that list among ~53* all-time seasons with 50 or more HR. Schwarber needs 5 more HR and they both need to avoid lifting their batting average above .260.

*53 assumes Ohtani gets 50 this season but not Judge, Suarez, or Caminero. If Suarez hits 9 more HR he would likely join Raleigh and Schwarber as 1-2-3 here because he is hitting .235 now. Caminero is hitting .259 but needs 11 HR to get to 50, so he’d probably land over .260 if he got that hot.
