Ok i looked it up... thanks for your help guys
a batter need 3.1 plate appearances per game the team has played so 502 total for a season.
right now the yanks have played 143 games (in the middle of their 144th), cano would need 3.1x143=443.3 plate appearances to qualify and he has roughly 435. By the end of the season, unless he gets injured or something, he should easily get the necessary 67 more plate appearances to qualify. He'll probably finish about 3rd in the AL.
Thanks for your help.

The only thing that can disqualify you is insufficient "plate appearances" (at bats + walks + sacrifices + hbp's). You need to average a certain number of plate appearances per (your team's) games to qualify. I'm not certain of the number, but I think it's something just slighty over 3.
Did Cano miss a bunch of games this year?

Just an addendum: Cano could, technically, qualify. The rules specify that if a player doesn't qualify based on plate appearances, he can still be the leader if his average is still the highest when you divide the number of hits he has by the number of AB's he would have needed to qualify.
Let me give an example: Right now, Cano has 138 hits in 412 AB (.335) and 435 plate appearances. If today were the end of the season, he would need 502 PA to be considered the leader. However, the rules say that if you add the needed PA to qualify (502-435 = 67) and assume he got an out in all of them (412 + 67 = 479 AB), then he'd still be the leader if a .288 average would lead. I don't think that rule has ever been invoked, and it was mostly written for guys who end the season at, say, 499 plate appearances and would've been the leader.

According to MLB.com's league leaders, a player must have 3.1 plate appearances per game played in order to qualify for the batting title. According to my calculator, he's got over four per game. That should qualify him.
But... you also must have a minimum of 502 plate appearances to qualify. Cano has about 434 right now.
There's your answer.

He needs to get to the 502 plate appearances. He missed 6 weeks earlier this year with a pulled hamstring.

Robinson Cano is one in each and every of my in demand gamers, it replaced into tremendous to be certain him attain a million,000 hits in the present day. i presumed it replaced into tremendous for the followers too, who looked as though it would wait out the rain postpone in the hopes of seeing heritage.. a minimum of they observed Robbie attain a million,000 hits! i'm hoping he receives the ball although, the fan gave the impression of he did no longer choose for to grant it up.

he has 412 at bats, and presumably plenty of plate appearences. maybe, um, you're confused? maybe they raised the necessary total from what it used to be (i think 450 pa's)
