Who makes the most “outs” among Yankees batters? Up to the minute stats via the Complete Baseball Encyclopedia:
Player OUTS PA O/PA Chris Stewart 3 3 1.000 Alberto Gonzalez 49 58 .845 Ivan Rodriguez 74 93 .796 Jose Molina 221 286 .773 Morgan Ensberg 61 80 .763 Brett Gardner 82 108 .759 Shelley Duncan 49 65 .754 Wilson Betemit 136 181 .751 Justin Christian 32 43 .744 Robinson Cano 438 594 .737 Melky Cabrera 326 443 .736 Chad Moeller 65 91 .714 Xavier Nady 144 207 .696 Derek Jeter 444 653 .680 Jorge Posada 131 195 .672 Bobby Abreu 433 649 .667 Richie Sexson 23 35 .657 Hideki Matsui 246 375 .656 Johnny Damon 382 594 .643 Alex Rodriguez 365 570 .640 Jason Giambi 336 528 .636 Cody Ransom 17 27 .630 Juan Miranda 2 4 .500

Catcher OWP PA Bill Bergen .098 3228 Ray Berres .174 1439 Mike Ryan .195 2098 Fritz Buelow .207 1465 Jack Ryan .212 2327 Mike Powers .224 2204 Matt Walbeck .237 2279 Steve Swisher .237 1577 Malachi Kittridge .240 4451 Roxy Walters .243 1601 Jorge Fabregas .244 1994 Moe Berg .244 1699 Chad Moeller .246 1412 Morgan Murphy .253 2160 Bill Holbert .253 2220 Joel Skinner .258 1551 Jeff Torborg .260 1525 Paul Casanova .265 2930 Jose Molina .269 1421 Merv Shea .271 1400
