He was agile at short and played 2nd and 3rd when needed.
He was not a home run hitter but hit for contact. Koenig was an excellent hitter for that time, hitting. Many present-day fans don’t know Mark Koenig, he played for the Yankees for six years starting in 1925. Joe Sewell, the Hall of Fame shortstop, could have been included in this list, but I did not consider him as he only played for two years for the Yankees. A good example is Alex Rodgriguez, one of the top five shortstops in all of the baseball lore, but he played 3rd base for the Yankees. Also, the Yankees have had players that were known for their offense and defense of their positions, but they were more well known at another position. If the Yankees have a position that is the weakest in their history, it is probably at shortstop. One through five is relatively easy, beyond that gets more difficult as the New York Yankees are more known for their outfielders, 2nd and 3rd baseman. With so many shortstops, some writers will differ in the order of their preferences. Here are this writer’s top 10. but after writing this morning about the shortstops the Yankees may target to add to the team this off-season, I thought it might be a good idea to look at some of the best Yankees shortstops ever. The New York Yankees in their 108-year glorious history have had their share of great baseball players. From Babe Ruth to Joe DiMaggio to Ron Guidry, Derek Jeter, and dozens more, some of the best baseball players in history have graced Yankee Stadium. I have many top Yankee 10s.
