Burt Shotten played the best part of his career with the St. Louis Browns, where he showcased strong plate discipline.  Twice leading the American League in Walks, Shotten had an OBP over .390 four times, though he never batted over. 300.

As patient as he was at the plate, he was reckless as a baserunner, as though he had a four-year streak of swiping 40 bases, and he was also caught stealing more often than most other players.  He was also prone to errors in the field, but overall as a Brown, Shotten collected 1,070 Hits.
