Baseball Only Puns

So I am a new baseball fan from India. I have watched plenty of games from the previous season. As I have no connection to any of the Baseball teams in the United States, so I decided to send every team an email that why should I support their teams and not the 29 others.

Teams that responded:-

• Cincinnati Reds -

​

Good morning,
I received your comment regarding that you are looking for a team to support.  I can go on for a long time why you  should select the Reds, however I will keep it to a few well-known facts.

The Reds are the oldest professional baseball team, being established in 1869.  
The  Reds hosted the first night game on May 24, 2935 and beat the  Philadelphia Phillies 2-1. The game was played at Crosley Field.
The Reds Hall of Fame and Museum is only second to Cooperstown.
The Reds played in nine World Series and won five; 1919, 1940, 1975, 1975, and 1990.
The Reds hosted five MLB All-Star games with the most recent in 20115
The Reds have 10 players in the Hall of Fame.
To truly experience what it is like to be a Reds  fan, you have to attend a game at Great American Ballpark and tour our  Hall of Fame and Museum.
This is your invitation to be my guest at a 2022  Reds home game. This will be for two complimentary tickets to a 2022  regular season game, excluding Opening Day.  Ticket location and date is  based on availability.
I hope that you can attend a game and enjoy all that our ballpark has to offer.
Go Reds!

Hi [name],

We appreciate your interest in the Baltimore Orioles baseball team!

In your chat thread, you wanted to know why you should support the Orioles. While there are many reasons why fans chose to support a particular team, I’d like to share with you some of the things that make the Orioles unique.
 
The Orioles celebrated 60 years in Baltimore during the 2014 season. Over that time, the Orioles have been MLB World Champions three times, in 1966, 1970 and 1983. They have been American League Champions six times. In 2014, the Orioles won the American League East 

Naive question, probably. But curious.

I genuinely like the sport of baseball and want to see teams try their best to be competitive.

Only to just turn it off 2 innings into the game because it’s so god damn hard to hit the ball? Love baseball, love multiplayer games, I cannot hit a 102 mph fastball paired with a 70 mph curve. So frustrated that I think I’m done with the show, been playing it since 16.

Obviously there isn't that huge a gap in athleticism, so why the huge disparity?

Miguel Cabrera

Jose Abreu

DJ LaMahieu

Chris Davis

Victor Martinez

This is a very tough one, good luck. Keep in mind the "only"

Edit- (Hint): It's a feat that would have been literally impossible to do before a specific year.

Hint II- The feat relates to yearly statistics.

Hint III- The year is 2012

This hint will probably give it away- the feat involves Mike Trout

Answer(below if you still want to guess:):

These players are the only 6 American leaguers who have out OPS-ed Trout in a single qualified season since he entered the MLB.

I predict we're down to 45 mins in coming weeks.
