Joe Foy was an underrated hitter who had a keen eye at the plate that was reflected in his OBP. A right-handed hitter Foy, then 23-years-old, hit .266 in 1966 as a rookie with the Red Sox while drawing 91 walks.
Foy also had some punch at the plate with 15 home runs in 1966 and 16 in 1967 for the “Impossible Dream” Red Sox. Foy also could move on the base paths with 26 steals in 1968 and 37 the next season for the Kansas City Royals.
Foy was a questionable fielder at third with botched ground balls and some scatter arm errors in his MLB career that lasted a brief six seasons.
