Of all Yankees with at least 40 at-bats, Bob Seeds has the ninth-highest slugging percentage at .571. Just ahead of him is Aaron Judge at .574. Just below him is Mickey Mantle at .557.
Forty at bats is a small sample size, and Seeds barely clears it with 42. Considering the rest of his major-league career, a .571 slugging percentage probably wasn’t his true talent level. Still, it’s also clear that he played pretty well as a Yankee. Yet after he did that in the 1936 season, he didn’t get a single at-bat for the team the next season.
