Not sure what you intended for minimum number of ABs.
Following cardcrimson's lead of Casey Schmitt, I'll throw out Luis Arraez.
Wade Boggs is correct.
My source is Baseball-Reference.com, which uses a minimum of 3,000 plate appearances. Arraez has a .321 career average, but only 1,737 plate appearances, so he doesn't qualify. Casey Schmitt has 40 plate appearances.

.338 Tony Gwynn
.331 Stan Musial
.328 Wade Boggs
.328 Rod Carew
.325 Joe DiMaggio
