I tried fangraphs and baseballref (stathead) but couldn't generate a table for first 2000 at-bats. Anyone now how to do it?
You'll probably have to go through and look at them individually.

Cal actually looks a whole lot better when you do it by AB's because as a catcher he has less AB's per season. He is probably not even going to make it to 2000 AB's by the end of the year and he is going to be well ahead of all of them. Haniger looks a lot better too because of all his injuries he didn't actually have his 2000th AB until 2022.

Cal is only at 1658 AB and has 102 HR
Haniger had his 2000th AB August 13th 2022 and had 105 HR (This includes his 5 HR in 109 AB's with Arizona)
A-Rod had his 2000th AB September 9th 1998 and had 103 HR
Griffey had his 2000th AB August 16th 1992 and had 88 HR
Presley had his 2000th AB September 28th 1987 and had 88 HR
Julio is at 1821 AB and has 83 HR
Davis had his 2000th AB August 4th 1987 and had 77 HR
Seager had his 2000th AB April 12th 2015 and had 70 HR

Cal is on pace for 57 Home runs which would not only best Griffey for the franchise record but would shatter the record of 48 for most HR by a catcher in a season.

57 is a really good number. much better than 54!
