While playing for Seattle in 1986,Presley became the second player in major league history to hit two walk-off grand slams in the same season,joining Cy Williams,who had done so in 1926. That season,Presley was named to the All-Star team and hit .265 with 27 home runs and a career-high 107 RBIs. Injuries began to derail his career a couple of years later,and by 1992 he had transitioned from playing to coaching. He has been a hitting coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks,Florida Marlins,and Baltimore Orioles.
