mlb requires 502 PA (not AB, but PA) to qualify for the batting title. works out to 3.1 PA/game. not sure if Romero qualifies using that standard. i assumed he didn't therefore i left him out of even consideration (along with guys like Chris Reid, Jacob Robson, and even Peter Alonso (which was probably dumb/wrong specifically even projecting ahead a couple weeks)

Peter Alonso belongs, that being said, all of these 1B have had good/great seasons:

Alonso
Alex Destino
Zach Lavy
Hunter Melton
Niko Buentello
Nathaniel Lowe
Evan White
Jordan Rodgers played 1B most of the year for UT

Once again proves how much talent in this league. Not making 1st or even 2nd team All-SEC is not a slam.

I'm not saying it's a slam, but I highly doubt he's ineligible for consideration, which is basically what you're saying and I'm arguing against. He has 148 plate appearances in 52 games LSU has played. So just under 3.1, but I don't think the SEC uses the same criteria. He will more than likely eclipse that MLB threshold before postseason play begins, even though that 3.1 number is likely irrelevant. And that 3.1 number is for a batting title, not an "all-star" team.
