Cool news article, but where is data?

Where do I find this data?

So it's September 9th, 2024 in my game and I got the following news item and I absolutely love it but I have no idea where this data is in the game and how I'd ever find it if it didn't just randomly show up in the news.

Here is a peek at the top 5 hitters leading the Major League Baseball in home runs on the first pitch.

Ronald Acuna Jr., ATL, 10
Will Benson, CIN, 9
Royce Lewis, MIN, 9
Oneil Cruz, PIT, 8
Wyatt Langford, TEX, 8

If I had constant access to this data then I could in theory scout a team before a series and know that I don't want to just hit 1 or space bar when facing Acuna. I might pitch around - or since he has .313/.403/.664 slash line with 55 HRs I might just want to hit him...I mean walk him.

Stats>sortable stats>(for split select)-count>first pitch

Have some batting stats as your view and sort by HR.

Pretty much the only limits on scouting another team deeply is how much time do you want to spend, and is it actually worth it? IE are some players in OOTP first pitch swingers or is this type of report just statistical noise/flavor?
