During tonight's Yankee game they stated that Corey Seager is the first lefty hitting shortstop to hit 200 career Home Runs.

I checked and he actually hit 218 of his 227 career HR playing shortstop.

I then ran a query to find others. There were none.

So I reduced the criteria to 150 HR. Still only Seager.

I dropped it to 125 HR and found two more. Then 100 HR:

For combined seasons, Playing in the AL or NL, Bats LH, Played at least 75% of games at SS, in the regular season, requiring Home Runs >= 100, sorted by descending Home Runs.
