Batting title
From BR Bullpen
The Batting title is the name usually given to the feat of a batter leading his league in batting average. For decades, winning the batting title was considered the highest feat that a hitter could accomplish, although the feat lost a lot of its lustre since the 1980s. Whereas batting champions were known by every baseball fan until that time, the batting champ is now a mere curiosity, as most analysts attach more importance to on-base percentage and OPS as measures of a hitter's overall talent.
