Newcombe hit .359 in 1955, with 7 HR, 23 RBI, a 1.028 OPS and a 163 OPS+ in 117 AB.
that OPS+ put him just behind Mays, Mathews and Snider - and just ahead of Musial, Campanella, Kluszewski, and Banks.
oh, he also went 20-5 on the mound that season.
career MLB AVG of .271 with an OPS+ of 85.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5
