In his brief stint with the Yankees this year, Mike Ford did not exactly wow with the bat. He posted a .179/.378/.321 slash, with only five hits (one home run) in 37 plate appearances over ten games. He walked a lot — hence the high OBP — but besides that, most of the analysis discussing Ford’s potential role have focused on his minor league track record and his major breakout this year at Triple-A Scranton.
Focusing on his minor league stats makes sense, given the extremely small sample size at the major league level.
