I noticed that the Yankees signed Kevin Cash to a minor league deal the other day.

Did you know that, of all catchers with at least 500 PA in the big leagues, all-time, Kevin Cash is the second worst hitting catcher, again, in the history of the game, in terms of Offensive Winning Percentage? It’s true. Here are the stats via the Complete Baseball Encyclopedia:

 CATCHER	          OWP	 PA
 Bill Bergen	.098	3228
 Kevin Cash	.147	557
 Raul Chavez	.152	557
 Bob Davis	.166	734
 Bert Adams	.167	725
 J. Zimmerman	.173	1118
 Ray Berres	.174	1439
 Luis Pujols	.177	922
 Tony Giuliani	.178	729
 Skip Jutze	.180	708

Only Bill Bergen – perhaps the worst hitter in the history of the game – was worse here than Cash.

Yeah, in terms of catcher’s batting, Kevin Cash makes “no sticks” like Alberto Castillo, Jose Molina, and Chad Moeller look good.

I guess Wil Nieves wasn’t available…
