Brett ? Carew , Gwynn
Going with some high batting averages Although I don’t think Gwynn or Carew drew a lot of walks

Good guess, but Cullenbine topped out at .4519, Rickey at .4392 and Gaedel didn't have quite enough Plate Appearances.

Yes, he sure did. Hugh Duffy had a .5017 OBP in 1894, the year he hit .440

Just 2 more to go. Both are Hall of Famers, though not exactly household names.

Good guess, but Terry topped out at .4515.

In addition to both of the remaining players being HOFers, one had some siblings play MLB, and the other had the nickname "Kingpin of the Orioles."

Joe Kelly? I never would have guessed him but for the Orioles HOF clue. And Ed Delahanty? Again, guessing because of the clues.
