Heliot Ramos has 53 career homers If all his batted balls had been at Yankee Stadium, he would have 57, per Statcast

Luis Arraez & Trea Turner for PHI will be the 10th duo of *multi-time* batting title winners to play for the same team in the same year (@EliasSports)   **having already won 2+ entering that season* They’ll join:

Being traded in the NL means Luis Arraez can still win a batting title (AL he would’ve not qualified in either distinct lg) Can he become the 1st in MLB history to win batting titles for more than 3 teams?

Will Luis Arraez join this list again? Won batting title in season played for multiple teams (in that league):   2024 Luis Arraez 2021 Trea Turner 1947 Harry Walker 1932 Dale Alexander   [1990 Willie McGee won NL title but finished season in AL; his stats accumulated in AL did not affect his NL BA]
