Which is significant because Smith has been bobbing above and below the 3.1 PA threshold.

I think it is a shame that getting a hit has lost its importance in the game.
Trea Turner ends the year as the only NL'er to finish above .300 (.304). Will Smith finished 66 PA short of qualifying, but still was @ .296. Only 5 in the NL batted .290 or above besides Turner.
