The other respondents seem to have confused "preceded" with "succeeded".
It appears that their regular right fielder in 1919 (the year before Ruth joined the team) was Sammy Vick. He wasn't much of a player, and hit just .248 that year. 1919 was the only year Vick was a regular player, though he had appeared in a handful of games in 1917 and '18 and stayed in the majors until 1921.

George Selkirk, who in 1935 hit .312 with 11 Home Runs, 94 RBI, just 35 Strike outs. He played his whole career with the Yankees and hit .290 in 846 games, from 1934 - 1942
this player succeeded Ruth but who preceded Ruth is the question - Sammy Vick is his name
