I started having fun, so played around even more, running thousands and thousands of hitters through my little routine. Here's the span of results of .300 hitters given a certain # of seasons.

Code:
#	Low	High
5000	.240	.360
10000	.232	.367
50000	.225	.376
100000	.225	.381
500000	.210	.385
1000000	.207	.385
So, basically, if your ratings say you're a .300 hitter, this data says you have well under 1 in a million chances to hit .400. On the good side, you should _always_ hit better than .207.

EDIT: The highest I could get in subsequent testing of 1,000,000 hitters at a time was .392.
