John Fox

John Fox, born in 1859, was a professional baseball pitcher who played in the late 19th century, a time when the game was transitioning from the deadball era into a more offense-driven style. His career spanned from 1881 until August 9, 1886, during which he played for various teams and established himself as a dedicated competitor on the mound. Over the course of his career, Fox posted a record of 13 wins and 28 losses, with an earned run average (ERA) of 4.16, reflecting the challenges pitchers faced during this period of evolving baseball strategies. Fox was known for his tenacity and ability to strike out batters, finishing his career with a total of 104 strikeouts. Although he did not register any saves, his contributions to the teams he played for were significant in an era when pitching was often characterized by a lack of specialization. His playing style, marked by a focus on control and durability, made him a reliable option on the roster during a formative time in Major League Baseball's history.
