While playing for Seattle in 1986, Presley became only the second batter in Major League history to hit two walk-off grand slams in the same season, joining Cy Williams, who had done so in 1926.

[1] Also in 1986, Presley was named to the American League All-Star team after hitting .265 with 27 home runs and a career high 107 RBIs.

In 1984, as a member of the Triple-A Salt Lake City Gulls, Presley had one of his best seasons as a pro, batting .317 with 13 home runs.

This earned him a summertime call-up to the majors, essentially to take over third base, which was being held down by veteran Larry Milbourne.

[5] In 1990, Seattle traded Presley to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for career minor league infielder Ken Pennington and pitcher Gary Eave.

[6] While playing for Seattle, Presley set the team record for most home runs hit by a third baseman which has since been broken by Kyle Seager.

Presely has served as a hitting coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks from 1998 to 2000, Florida Marlins from 2006 to 2010, The Baltimore Orioles from 2011 to 2014 and the Texas Rangers from 2016 to 2017.
