Distance and exit-velocity badges count from 2015, when tracking began. Grand slams, walk-offs, inside-the-park, leadoff, pinch-hit, first-pitch, back-to-back, switch-hitting and ballpark badges count games from 2008 on. Game-by-game data isn’t available yet for 18 of his seasons, so single-game badges may be missing for those years.
