New York Mets 2B Jeff McNeil won the National League batting title with a  career-high .326 batting average narrowly ahead of Dodgers 1B Freddie Freeman and also finished the season with the best average in MLB.

McNeil was able to return back to form after a difficult year last night where he hit  .251 after he hit .319 in his first three years in the Majors.

He hit .300 in April, May, and June but struggled in July with a .208 batting average.

McNeil rebounded with a .385 average in August and .357 average in September/October.

He is the second Met to win the NL Batting Title after SS Jose Reyes won it in 2011 with a .337 average.

McNeil also finished with the sixth- highest batting average in Mets history.
