I will go with Ferrell as well but here are two Reds:
Red Ruffing: Used as a pinch hitter 260 times (Ferrell was used 163 times). Career 36/273/.269. Career WAR as batter 13.3 (Ferrell was 11.3). Ferrell has him in OPS .797 to .695.
Red Lucas: Used as a pinch hitter 506(!) times. Not a lot of power 3/190/.281. OPS .687. WAR as batter 12.0.
There are also some Negro Leaguers and 19th century players that could be in the discussion.
