There are some who think Kensuke Kondo could've hit .400 last season.

That had a herniated disc not sidelined the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters catcher, the position at which he's listed but rarely actually plays anymore (he's mostly the DH or in the outfield), for most of the season, he could've scaled one of the game's highest mountains.

It's a pretty lofty claim, to say the very least. Batting .400 is virtually unheard of these days. Even flirting with it late enough in the year is enough to cause a stir throughout the baseball world.
