Kaat had a reputation as being a good hitter, but .185 lifetime isn't all that great, even for a pitcher. This is his lifetime average compared to some of the guys he played with on the Twins:
Pascual .205
Boswell .202
Perry .199
Kaat .185
Although Kaat did have more home runs than those other guys...
And he was, no question, a great and smart fielder.
