Hit-n-Run
Go Reds!!!
The 500 AB is what would disqualify most players at any position. Annually depending on the decade, there are only 100 or so players that record 500 AB's.
There are Hall of Famers that only had 500 AB seasons 4-5 times in their career. Joe Morgan didn't have 500 AB's in either of his MVP seasons. Players with high OBP often don't record 500 AB's due to walks.
Even without the 500 AB qualification, the question still says a lot about the Reds ability to develop hitters over a fairly lengthy period of time.
