In all, Steinbach played for four division championship teams from 1988 to 1992, which won three American League pennants and the 1989 World Series.

Offensively, his best year was 1996, when he hit 35 home runs with 100 RBIs, 25 doubles for a .272/.342/.529 slash line, and he finished 21st in the AL MVP ballot.
