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? What makes Sax’s legacy truly remarkable is the profound psychological battle he waged and won under the relentless glare of the media. In 1983, he suddenly and inexplicably lost his spatial accuracy when throwing the ball to first base, committing an alarming 30 errors that season. The phenomenon became so high-profile that the media dubbed it “Steve Sax Syndrome”—a baseline term for a sudden mental block affecting a player’s routine mechanics.

Rather than letting the condition break his career, Sax showed incredible mental toughness. He worked tirelessly on his routine, completely rebuilt his throwing confidence, and by 1989, he led all American League second basemen in fielding percentage (.992) while playing for the New York Yankees. His triumph remains the definitive blueprint for overcoming sports anxiety.
