Charlie McCullough
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles F. McCullough (1866 - April 13, 1898) was a Major League Baseball pitcher for one season. In 1890 he played for the Brooklyn Gladiators and the Syracuse Stars, both of the American Association. He was a native of Dublin, Ireland.
McCullough quite possibly had one of the worst seasons in major league history. He did complete 27 out of 28 starts, but allowed 406 baserunners (276 hits, 116 walks, and 13 hit batsmen) in 241.2 innings pitched. He also threw 21 wild pitches, seventh in the league. His earned run average was 4.88, which was a full run over the league average, and his record was 5-23.
At the plate he was 3-for-95 (.032) with one run batted in and three runs scored. He drew six walks, increasing his on base percentage to .089. On defense he had a fielding percentage of .885, below the league's average of .907 for pitchers.
McCullough passed away in Brooklyn, New York at the age of 31 or 32.
