FOR DUSTIN PEDROIA HINDSIGHT IS 300

300, that's a very special number in baseball.  There have only been 194 Major League Baseball players who have finished at or above that mark.  Dustin Pedroia was so close to being number 195, and then a nagging knee injury.
If Pedroia never takes another at bat, he will be 1805 for 6031.  That my friends is .2993 and not quite at that cherished 300 mark.  This season he has had 20 at bats and 2 hits, that small sample size has pushed him from having the "rounded up" version of 300.  

Coming into this season the Laser Show was hitting .29995.  Assuming we round to four decimal places he's is the club, if we don't then he's out.  Regardless, his .091 (1/11) batting average was less than helpful.
Heading into the 2018 season, Dustin was "in the club" without any rounding needed.  With exactly 6000 at bats and 1802 hits, he was batting .3003.  If he had walked away from the game at that point, he would be ranked 199 of all players with at least 3000 plate appearances.  As it stands now, he is ranked 214th all-time. 

For those who are curious, there are 8 active players who would be "in the club" if they were to walk away today.   Looking at both their batting averages and number of at bats, I feel they are all safe to have their membership cards printed.

While he doesn't quite have enough at bats, Mookie Betts is hitting .3019 with 2819 at bats under his belt.
