Ranking The Best Left Handed Hitters In MLB History

1. Babe Ruth

George Herman Ruth; The Great Bambino; The Sultan of Swat; The King of Crash; The Colosus of Clout; The Big Bam – The nicknames speak for itself. Babe Ruth instilled fear into pitchers like no one else in history. He is the most dominant player to ever take step in the box.

The fact that Ruth could have been a hall of fame pitcher just shows how ridiculously talented he was. For today, though, let’s focus on what he did at the plate.

The Great Bambino absolutely obliterated the ball when he made contact. He clubbed at least 40 home runs in 11 seasons and he totaled 700 homers before anybody had even eclipsed 400. He collected over 2,000 career walks, had an .OBP of .474, and his lifetime .OPS of 1.164 remains the best of all time.

Ruth is still the face of baseball and is regarded by many as the best player in MLB history. Baseball is not what is today without the Babe. He is possibly the most decorated human being in sports history.
