Jim McLeod

Jim McLeod, born in 1908, was a professional baseball player who played primarily as a position player during his career from 1930 to 1933. He made his mark in the Major Leagues during a transitional period in baseball, just before the sport began to embrace more power-hitting strategies in the mid-1930s. Over the course of his career, McLeod appeared in 92 games, where he recorded 54 hits and accumulated a batting average of .203. Although he did not hit any home runs, he contributed to his teams with 16 runs batted in and demonstrated speed on the base paths with 2 stolen bases. McLeod’s career spanned parts of four seasons, during which he played in a league that was increasingly competitive and evolving. While his offensive numbers may not reflect a standout player, his presence on the field during the early 1930s added depth to the rosters he was part of. His contributions came during an era marked by a shift from the deadball style of play to a more dynamic approach, setting the stage for the power hitters who would dominate the game in the years to follow. His legacy, though modest in the statistical sense, is a reminder of the many players who contributed to the rich tapestry of baseball history.
