Repack Haiku #356 (Casey Kotchman)

Fielding percentage
At first tops in history
Never won Gold Glove
 
2006 Topps Allen & Ginter
#96 Casey Kotchman
 
Kotchman's .9975 fielding percentage as a first baseman is the best all-time. He set a record for consecutive chances without an error with 2,379 (June 20, 2008, through August 21, 2010). He played for 4 teams during that streak, which may have contributed to his lack of fielding hardware.

  1. Very interesting. Made me curious about who was behind him. Kevin Youkilis is at .9974 and he only won 1 Gold Glove Award.
