Will it happen? Nobody knows.

I really don't understand how this list has convinced you that 900 hits by age 26 is somehow a HOF 'pace'. The list you used has numbers ranging from 1,600 to 0, so the only way to take that is that there's more than one way to get there.
Do you have a list of guys who had 800-900 hits by that age and didn't make the HOF? I'm guessing that's a much longer list.
All of this while, in a career full of slow starts, he's off to his slowest yet.
