Best hitting outfielders by position 1903-2026: Williams, Mantle, Judge.

Babe Ruth split time between Left and Right field and is in neither group.

11/5/2026: Updated because of a question about Ruth and two other non center fielders omitted:

	Games	LF	RF	LF%	RF%
Ruth	2,436	1,047	1,128	42.98%	46.31%
Musial	2,907	929	783	31.96%	26.93%
Joe Jackson	1,319	565	570	42.84%	43.21%

The lowest percentage of games I looked for was 64%. None of these three were close. Musial played 1,016 games at first base.
