One of the premier players at his position throughout his career, he batted.303 lifetime, and was awarded the 1913 Chalmers Award as the National League's top player after winning the batting title with a.350 average; he repeated as the 1914 champion with a mark of.329.
Daubert was born in Shamokin, Pennsylvania, and began working as a coal miner at age 11.
Daubert was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame in 1966.
Daubert, as a rookie, hit.264, which was second among the regulars behind Zack Wheat at.284.
Daubert was never a great doubles hitter, and except for his first season in the majors, when he was third in the league with homers with 8, he was never a big home run hitter either.
Daubert was traded to the Cincinnati Reds in February of 1919, and thus had the opportunity to play in the 1919 World Series tainted by the Black Sox Scandal.
