Pretty crazy - in one year, he had a batting average of .231 and an OBP of .412.

Derrek Norris may have done that in the minors.

Nope. When Norris hits .210, it's his peak. Yost had one bad year...typically hit .250 with 100 - 125 walks. And Griffith Stadium would scare the cleats off of modern hitters.
Norris's 2010 at Potomac - .235 with a .419 OBP.

Not arguing Norris will do that in the majors.  Just noting that he had a year like the one posted.
