When was the last season your MLB team had a .300 hitter?

Take a look at the batting average leaders through games of June 13, and you will see that there are 11 MLB players who are currently hitting .300 or above… seven in the National League and four in the American League. Unfortunately, none of those 11 plays for the Oakland A’s.

The last time the A’s had a player hit .300 in a season was in 2013; a decade without a .300 hitter. Right now, designated hitter Brent Rooker is hitting .265, the highest average for an Oakland player.

The A’s have the longest drought for a player hitting .300. The Detroit Tigers are second with no .300 hitter since 2016 and the Miami Marlins with no .300 hitter since 2017.

Here’s a look at the last season each of the 30 MLB teams had a .300 hitter (must have met requirements to qualify for the batting title).
