In a nine-season career, Welch was a .274 hitter (634-for-2310) with 41 home runs and 295 RBI in 738 games, including 310 runs, 100 doubles, 31 triples, 18 stolen bases, and a .350 on-base percentage. On October 1, 1921, Welch became the last person to hit a home run off Babe Ruth in a major league game; the homer was the 10th and last the Babe would ever allow as a pitcher.
