I won't say he was the best in history but Ed Kranepool of the New York Mets had a five year run as a pinch hitter that was a good as anybody in the game. Between 1974-1978, Kranepool went 57-144 for a pinch hitting batting average of .396.

Not in MLB. Bob's first MLB at bat was on April 13, 1962 as a pinch hitter ... he grounded out to second base. He did hit one career MLB grand slam off Ron Herbal of the Giants on June 21, 1967.

A defensive substitution or carry over of a pinch hitter.
MLB the show, hands down. RTTS (road to the show) is a very fun, competitive superstar mode where you can rise from little league and only playing pinch hitter every few games to be a MLB superstar.

Babe Ruth
One. Mincher's final season in MLB was with the 1972 Athletics. He got into 3 games of the 1972 World Series as a pinch hitter. In Game 4, he pinch hit for Dick Green in the 9th inning and singled, scoring the tying run. In Games 5 and 6, he was also a late game pinch hitter. The Reds changed pitchers to a left hander both times and Mincher, the pinch hitter, was pinch hit for.
