Behind only Ty Cobb in batting average, Rogers is one of the purest hitters of all. His bat control made him a nightmare to opposing pitchers, that in addition to his professor's knowledge of the strikezone. That great eye is indicated by his 8th ranked OPS, which also suggests further offensive production.

is pitching arm (his career pitching record was 80-41 to that point) and take up hitting full time, Ty Cobb was already at the top of the sport. His 10 batting titles between 1907 and 1918 were unmatched by anyone in history, he had already hit better than .400 in a season twice, he routinely led the league in on-base percentage, slugging percentage and hits, and he had led the majors in stolen bases six times. The Georgia Peach was, simply put, the best player of his time.
