All-Time MLB Second Base Range Factor Leaders

Fred Pfeffer is the all-time MLB leader in second base range factor with 6.39, 0.06 clear of Bid McPhee (6.33). He did it in 16 seasons, from 1882 to 1897. The top ten runs from 6.39 down to 5.79.

Career rate stats are limited to players with 1,000+ games at the position, the usual bar for all-time rate leaderboards. That is a raw total rather than a share of the schedule, so it falls unevenly across eras. Negro League seasons ran roughly 25 to 70 games against 154 or more in the American and National Leagues, and exactly one Negro League fielder reaches 1,000 games at a single position. The outfield is also one position here rather than three: the source splits left, centre and right into a file this site does not load, so an outfield board mixes the three corners together.
