Simon Pole

Category: Baseball players   |   Class: 2012 During his decade-long British career, no player put up better statistics as either a pitcher or a hitter than Simon Pole. From 1999 until 2008, he boasted a career .454 batting average, with 35 home runs and 224 runs batted in. According to Project COBB, those are career bests for that period (Pole also had the best on-base average, the most base hits, and the most doubles). He led the country's top league in home runs at least three times (2002, 2004, and 2005) and topped the circuit in batting twice (1999 and 2005). In 2005, Pole won the 'triple crown' with a .571 average, six home runs, and 42 runs batted in. He was no less impressive on the mound. His 2.11 earned-run average and 1.05 WHIP were the best of any player between 1995 and 2008. He led the league in earned-run average at least three times (2001, 2002, and 2005). All told, Project COBB named him Most Valuable Hitter three times, Most Valuable Pitcher twice, and Most Valuable Two-way Player four times, in a period of five seasons from 2001 to 2005. His performances also led to national championships, with titles in 2000 (with the London Warriors) and 2007 and 2008 (with the London Mets). In the 2000 national finals, Pole threw a complete game to beat the Brighton Buccaneers and he also picked up a win on the hill in the first game of the 2007 finals. A native Australian, Pole represented his adopted country internationally, playing for Great Britain in six events including the 2005 European Championship A-Pool.
