Not necessarily this season, but he's batting .417 since June 1.

He's hitting .423 when you eliminate strikeouts. That's probably close enough for purposes of this conversation.
If you're going to hit .400 you'd better figure on an absolute minimum of 240 hits if you're going to stay healthy all year. And if you're at the top of the lineup, that's probably not enough, as you'll likely exceed 600 AB's. So at least 250 hits over a full season. That's over a hit-and-a-half per game. All year.
There's a reason no one has hit .400 in 76 years, 87 years in the NL. Even Tony Gwynn was at .394 during the strike year of 1994. He probably wasn't going to top .380 that year.

Williams BABIP in '41 was .378, which Gwynn surpassed in '94 with .394.
The biggest thing, besides the random drop in 60 plate appearances compared to the year before despite the same number of games played, was walks. His 24% BB% I can really only find being surpassed by Bonds with all the intentional walks. Gwynn was only at 10% and Altuve is currently at 9%.

.400 is tough, but I think we are over estimating what it takes. Although a guy with 600 pa is going to struggle to get close.
It only takes 502 plate appearances to qualify for the batting title, which is my standard for saying you hit .400 in a full season.
That's 201 hits IF every pa was an at-bat. But it never is. Add in 50 walks and you only need 181 hits. Then you have the other random things that count as pa but not at bats. So you can shave off a few more hits.

Baseball has hemlines and someday the hemlines will be like the 1930s and whole teams will hit .300 and somebody (probably multiple somebodies) will hit .400, just like someday whole teams will hit .225 and somebody will throw 2 straight no hitters.
