If you’ve been following along, you know that my pet comps for Hundley are Ron Karkovice, Jason LaRue, and maybe Mike Macfarlane if I’m feeling extra confident. I recently ran more numbers and found more names.
This time I searched at Baseball-Reference using the following criteria:
Since 1901
Through age 27 season
50 percent of games at catcher
OBP between .299 and .319
SLG between .397 and .417
Minimum 1000 career plate appearances

Player Years PA BA OBP SLG OPS+
Nick Hundley 2008-2011 1041 .248 .309 .407 99
Gary Alexander 1975-1980 1407 .230 .313 .412 99
Mike Macfarlane 1987-1991 1158 .257 .311 .400 98
Don Slaught 19...
