While his stellar defense regularly overshadowed contributions at the plate, Mazeroski had a number of productive seasons as a key component of one of the most potent attacks in the majors. In his prime, he drove in more runs than any middle infielder in baseball even though he was frequently in the bottom third of the order. He had a career-high 82 RBI in , when he batted no higher than the sixth spot in all except 17 games. A fly ball hitter with well above average power for his position and era, Mazeroski hit more than twice as many home runs on the road (93) than at home (45), a testament to the vast dimensions of Forbes Field, where he played the majority of his games.
