So here are the pertinent rules. 3.1 PAs per team game to qualify. In a 162 game season, that is 502 PAs. But a guy can still win the BA title if you can add an 0fer to his total to bring him up to 502 and he still be ahead of the other guy.

So your guy was 11 PAs short. You'd add 0-11 to his total and get a new BA (with an asterisk out by it), and if he was still higher than the other guy's .374, he wins the title. OOTP used to get this right, but didn't here.

The same rules apply for pitchers, in a way. 1 inning per team game to qualify (so 162). If you can add the same number of innings and runs (i.e. a 9 ERA) to get a guy to 162 and he's still in first? ERA title.
That is not correct for pitchers. They MUST get the 162 innings to qualify because you cannot assume how many runs they could give up in a worst case scenario like you can with hitters.

P.S. The OP needs to re-download the skin. It has been updated to work with the new highlighted leaders that came in a patch. They should show as red instead of a black box.
