Some interesting Spahn career stats.
Pitching: 363 wins — 356 with Braves, 4 with Mets, 3 with Giants Batting: 363 hits — 356 with Braves, 4 with Mets, 3 with Giants Playoff pitching: 4 wins Playoff batting: 4 hits Spahn’s streak of consecutive seasons with at least one home run is actually longer than his streak of seasons with at least one shutout, which is a bit surprising. He hit homers in 17 consecutive seasons (1948-1964), but only had shutouts in 15 consecutive seasons (1947-61). |

As a Mets maniac (with no actual evidence to back this up), it seems Tom Seaver only got hits when he went up there and squared around to bunt a runner over, but as the pitch was released and the infielders raced in to field said bunt, he would pull the bat back and slap/swing at the ball for an 'easy' hit past them.

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.
