Interpreting "qualified for the batting title" as someone with 503 plate appearances in a season the lowest batting average amongst qualifiers would be Rob Deer, 1991, with a .179 average.Buck O'Neil: The Monarch of Baseball -
I believe that would be Bill Bergen in 1909 who was 48-346 for a .139 average. Under the qualifications of the time (which I believe was 100 games) he qualified.Originally posted by Cubsfan97Comment

Thats interesting because I didnt know if anyone could qualify with an average under .200 because I'd imagine they'd lose their job and be sent to a minor league."I don't like to sound egotistical, but every time I stepped up to the plate with a bat in my hands, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the pitcher."
