Did Mike Yastrzemski have the best "old" rookie season since the 1930s last year?
I had Stathead (a Baseball Reference product) call up all the rookies since 1900 aged 27+ with 400+ PAs. The table below shows the leaders in OPS+. Since the 1930s, the only players ahead of him are Jose Abreu, Ichiro Suzuki and Guy Curtright. Abreu and Suzuki are not traditional rookies and Curtright was in a war year.
