Luis Arraez, traded from the Florida Marlins to the San Diego Padres today, could potentially be the first player to ever win a batting average championship as a member of three different teams. He won the AL crown in 2022 as a Minnesota Twin, and the NL crown in 2023 as a Marlin.

2) Arraez is the second player to have won a batting title in each of the National and the American Leagues. Who is the only player who has accomplished this feat?
3) In addition to Arraez and the correct answer to 2), only three other players have ever won a batting title as a member of two different teams*. Name all three.

Joe Burrow. He graduated OSU and transferred to LSU as a grad transfer but still has 2-3 years eligibility left, on account of redshirting and COVID.

Burrow graduated from Ohio State in three years, (2015-17). Because he had been a red shirt in his Freshman year, he had two additional years of eligibility. As a grad student, he didn't have to wait a year after transferring to LSU, (2018-19). COVID was not a factor.
