New York Yankees: All-time best second basemen in franchise history

The New York Yankees franchise has existed since 1901, and there have been several terrific second basemen to don the pinstripes.

To qualify to be among the best second basemen in Yankees’ history, players needed at least 1500 plate appearances, and they had to play second base more than any other position. They needed to have at least 13 Wins Above Replacement to qualify.

The goal was also to be objective rather than subjective, so rankings were based on Wins Above Replacement, according to Fangraphs. This takes into account base running skills, defensive prowess, and well as offensive skills.
