Biography
Doc Amole was a professional baseball pitcher who played in the late 19th century, a time characterized by the tail end of the deadball era, where pitching dominated the game and offensive outputs were typically lower than in later periods. Born in 1874, Amole's career spanned from 1897 to 1898, during which he made a mark in the sport despite a relatively brief tenure. He played for teams in the minor leagues, with a record of 4 wins and 10 losses, and posted an earned run average (ERA) of 4.75 over the course of his appearances.
Throughout his career, Amole recorded a total of 30 strikeouts but did not register any saves, highlighting his role primarily as a starting pitcher. His contributions came during a transformative time in baseball, as the game was evolving with the introduction of more strategic play and the gradual shift towards a higher emphasis on offensive performance in the years that followed. Although his career statistics may not reflect the dominance of some of his contemporaries, Amole's involvement in the early days of professional baseball contributes to the rich tapestry of the sport's history.
