Sax played 14 seasons (1981–1994), primarily as a second baseman. He followed Fernando Valenzuela to become the second of four consecutive Dodgers to win NL Rookie of the Year (1982). After leaving LA as a free agent in 1988, he spent three productive years with the New York Yankees, where he set a franchise record for singles in a season (171 in 1989).
Sax was a perennial threat on the bases, stealing over 40 bases in six different seasons. He finished his career with 444 stolen bases.
In 1983, despite his offensive success, Sax famously developed a sudden inability to make routine throws to first base, committing 30 errors that season. This phenomenon is still occasionally referred to as “Steve Sax Syndrome.” He eventually overcame it, becoming a reliable defender and even leading the league in fielding percentage and double plays turned in later years.

Did You Know? Following a brief late-season cameo in 1981, Sax was handed the starting second base job full-time in 1982, tasked with replacing the legendary Davey Lopes in the historic Dodgers infield. He answered the call by injecting immediate, game-changing speed into Tommy Lasorda’s lineup.
Sax authored a brilliant debut campaign, batting .282 with 180 hits, 23 doubles, and a blazing 49 stolen bases to capture the 1982 National League Rookie of the Year Award—keeping the trophy in Los Angeles for a record-setting fourth consecutive season. He proved instantly that he could spark a big-market offense, anchoring the top of the order with an infectious, hard-nosed style.
