Of the 192 MVP winners in MLB history, only 32 (16.7%) have had a batting average under .300. (Amazingly, the last two AL MVPs have hit under.300). However, THIS NL SHORTSTOP, whose .267/.324/.362 slash line was below league average in every category, holds the dubious distinction of having the lowest batting average in their MVP season. Name this anemic honoree. [Excludes pitchers]
