Baseball Historian Biography

Freddie Patek - 1970s - Kansas City Royals

A speedy base-runner, a top glove man, with an excellent on-base-pct throughout the 1970s, Freddie Patek scored on average 65 runs per/season. In 1971, he led the American League in stolen bases with 53. In 1972, Patek lined 25 doubles and 4 triples and scored 82 runs. In 1973 he had 19Ds, 5Ts and hit 5 home runs. A constant threat to steal at any time, he rattled the opposing pitcher which helped the batter and played a big part in the Royals' offense. In 1977 he clubbed 26 Ds, 6Ts while batting a solid .262. A fans' favorite, Fred Patek was a spark plug for the Kansas City Royals throughout the decade and his intense, hard playing helped the team in its quest for the pennant.
