He's still in the American League so I'm guessing it's still the same.

correct. If a player is traded to a different league his ba starts over.

trivia-in 1990, Willie McGee won the NL batting title as a Cardinal (.335) after being traded to the A's. His overall average was 9th best in mlb.(.324)

He hit only .274 with Oakland

Not sure about starting over if traded to other league. It always was that way, but might have been changed due to inter league play.

Your "official" batting average is by league. All the stats are. Its a remnant of when the leagues were much more distinct than they are now. After all, there are "batting champions" in each league but not major league batting champ. Of course I don't think you get anything for winning the batting title than the title.

You get the Silver Slugger for best offensive performance for your position. Trout has two, Pujols has six. This is not based solely on batting average and can be subjective.

[Ohtaniland]

Because Adam Dunn is hitting .750 as an Oakland A's player.

[Blarg]

That raised his season total to .226. His previous three seasons 159,204,216. Regression is going not going to really help the A's.

He said traded, not just handed a boatload of cash for showing up.
