Viktor Fredsgaard – Starting Pitcher – Stockholm Swordsmen – 74.6% Fifth Ballot

Viktor Fredsgaard was a 6’2’’, 195 pound right-handed pitcher from Jyllinge, Denmark; a town of 10,000 inhabitants located 40 kilometers west of Copenhagen. Fredsgaard had solid stuff and movement with very good control. His velocity peaked in the 98-100 mph range with a splitter and forkball being his best two pitches. Fredsgaard had a five-pitch arsenal in total, also boasting a nice curveball, slider, and changeup.

Fredsgaard’s stamina was very average compared to most aces of the era. His durability was respectable, avoiding big injuries until his mid 30s. Fredsgaard was incredibly well respected in the clubhouse and a team captain. Peers remarked about his excellent leadership, loyalty, work ethic, and intelligence.

By the 1987 EBF Draft, Fredsgaard had established himself as one of the top pitching prospects on offer. He was picked fourth overall by Stockholm and made a full-time starter immediately, taking second in 1988 Rookie of the Year honors. Fredsgaard would ultimately play his entire pro career win the Swedish capital.

He still wasn’t too far from home and still would represent Denmark regularly in the World Baseball Championship. Fredsgaard tossed 155.1 innings from 1988-2000, but was unremarkable on the world stage with a 6-9 record, 4.23 ERA, 194 strikeouts, 85 ERA+, and 3.5 WAR.

Fredsgaard wasn’t a league leader almost at all in his career. He was a good in his first four seasons, then posted a career best 2.55 ERA in 1992. Fredsgaard had 8.4 WAR and 5 shutouts, helping Stockholm end a nine-year stretch of losing seasons. The Swordsmen went one-and-done in the playoffs with Fredsgaard allowing 6 runs over 7.1 innings in his one start.

Still, Stockholm gave him a five-year, $8,640,000 extension that winter. Fredsgaard was third in 1993 Pitcher of the Year voting; his only time as a finalist. That year had a career-best 9.6 WAR. Fredsgaard fared better in the playoffs with a 1.62 ERA over 16.2 innings, but the Swordsmen were stopped in the Northern Conference Championship by Birmingham.

For the rest of his tenure, Stockholm was generally stuck in the middle-tier. Fredsgaard would top 6+ WAR each year from 1994-1998 and twice led in K/BB during that stretch. The Swordsmen gave Fredsgaard another five year extension in May 1997 worth $13,320,000.

Inflammation issues slowed Fredsgaard down in 1999, although he still looked good when healthy. More elbow inflammation cost him the early part of 2000, then a torn rotator cuff ended his season in late August. Fredsgaard rehabbed and made it back for the start of the 2001 campaign. However, he tore his rotator cuff again after four starts. Fredsgaard decided to retire that winter at age 37 after the back-to-back bad injuries.

Fredsgaard finished with a 190-141 record, 3.18 ERA, 3094.1 innings, 3006 strikeouts, 489 walks, 256/416 quality starts, 119 ERA+, 74 FIP-, and 81.8 WAR. As of 2037, he ranks 29^th in pitching WAR. There certainly were guys with less remarkable resumes that had gotten in before. But Fredsgaard had some things working against him.

He was never dominant and was very rarely in POTY conversations. Fredsgaard was also hurt by being on some forgettable Stockholm squads, although his loyalty was a plus. He seemed destined for the “Hall of Pretty Good” initially with a debut of 43.0% on the 2007 ballot. He slowly gained to 46.0%, 55.9%, and then down to 54.1%.

On his fifth try in 2011, some voters gave Fredsgaard another look and found his stats were better than they’d realized. He received the bump up to 74.6%, crossing the 66% requirement. Fredsgaard became the second of the three inductees into EBF’s 2011 Hall of Fame class.

Henrique Agnelo – Outfield/Pitcher – Barcelona Bengals – 69.5% Third Ballot

Henrique Agnelo was a 6’1’’, 195 pound left-handed outfielder and pitcher from Povao de Santo Adriao, Portugal, a town of 13,000 people in the Lisbon metropolitan area. Agnelo was a two-way player who was strongest as a position player. He was a solid contact hitter with a decent eye and respectable knack at avoiding strikeouts.

Agnelo had plenty of pop on his bat with a career 162 game average of 28 home runs, 22 doubles, and 16 triples. He was a great athlete who could leg out extra bases and steal effectively in his prime. Agnelo played the outfield when not pitching with around half of his career starts in left and a smaller chunk in right. He graded out as perfectly adequate in left and slightly below average in right.

As a pitcher, Agnelo had strong stuff, but his movement and control were average to above average at best. He had a three pitch lineup of fastball, slider, and curveball. Agnelo had excellent stamina and regularly went deep in games despite his two-way workload.

Although he had injuries, Agnelo held up pretty well compared to many other two-way guys, playing pro baseball into his age 40 season. Some thought he was a selfish mercenary type, but Agnelo’s unique skillset meant someone was always happy to give him a shot.

Agnelo was an intriguing prospect, but many teams weren’t quite sure what to make of him. He was eligible for the 1987 EBF Draft and Barcelona grabbed him sixth overall. Agnelo’s talent seemed raw and the Bengals kept him on the developmental roster in 1988. He debuted in 1989 but with 11 relief appearances and 54 games in the field.

Agnelo wanted to play both ways, but Barcelona made him a full-time outfielder in 1990 and 1991. He excelled in that role with 6.6 WAR and 9.0 WAR seasons, including a conference-best 33 triples in 1991. Agnelo only pitched 14 innings over those two seasons. He worked on his pitching though and in 1992, the Bengals gave him a two-way shot.

That gamble paid off as he matched Edgar Miranda’s combined WAR record of 15.5 Agnelo at the plate had 8.6 WAR and a conference-best .723 slugging and 209 wRC+, hitting 32 home runs in 129 games. He had 6.9 WAR on the mound with a 3.09 ERA over 285.1 innings and 260 strikeouts. Agnelo won a Silver Slugger as a pitcher and took third in MVP voting.

He never had a season quite that amazing again, but he won additional Silver Sluggers for Barcelona in 1993 and 1995. In 1995, Agnelo led the conference in OBP (.412), slugging (.698), OPS (1.109), and wRC+ (193). From 1990-1995, he averaged 6.87 WAR per year at the plate.

Agnelo posted 5.6 WAR in his second year pitching, but his stats would be merely above average after that. Still, a great bat with playable pitching was very valuable, although some wondered how good of a bat Agnelo could’ve been had he focused on that.

While playing professionally in Spain, Agnelo played for his native Portugal in the World Baseball Championship. He had 103 games and 82 starts in the field from 1990-2008 with 75 hits, 43 runs, 11 doubles, 19 home runs, 47 RBI, 26 stolen bases, a .237/.327/.459 slash, 128 wRC+, and 2.5 WAR.

Agnelo also pitched 121.2 innings over 19 games with an 11-3 record, 2.00 ERA, 138 strikeouts, 58 walks, 180 ERA+, and 3.3 WAR. From 1995-97, he tossed 35.1 innings without allowing an earned run. Oddly enough, Agnelo was stronger on the world stage as a pitcher despite being a better batter in his pro career.

Barcelona snapped a playoff drought in 1993, but lost in the first round. In 1994, the Bengals won the Southern Conference Championship, falling to Birmingham in the European Championship. They missed the playoffs in 1995, but won it all in a finals rematch against the Bees. Agnelo had a good run hitting in 1994, but his playoff stats were otherwise underwhelming.

At the plate, he had 37 games, 33 hits, 20 runs, 6 doubles, 5 triples, 4 home runs, 20 RBI, 17 stolen bases, a .237/.282/.439 slash, 98 wRC+, and 0.3 WAR. In 73.2 innings pitching, he had a 4.64 ERA, 3-5 record, 49 strikeouts, 26 walks, 84 ERA+, and 0.9 WAR. Still, Agnelo was viewed as an important part of the run and Barcelona would later retire his #37 uniform.

The 1996 title marked the end of the Barcelona run, as Agnelo opted for free agency at age 30. At the plate, he had 1175 hits, 630 runs, 156 doubles, 158 triples, 194 home runs, 645 RBI, 348 stolen bases, a .334/.380/.634 slash, 173 wRC+, and 45.4 WAR. Pitching, Agnelo had an 81-51 record, 3.64 ERA, 1276.1 innings, 1076 strikeouts, 357 walks, 108 ERA+, an d20.8 WAR.

Agnelo only signed a one-year, $1,580,000 deal in 1997 with Dublin. He won a Silver Slugger again, but 3.6 WAR was his weakest at the plate. A strained groin cost him some time as well. Agnelo had 3.8 WAR on the mound for the Dinos. A free agent again for 1998, Agnelo got the MLB payday he was hoping for. Thus, his EBF career ended at age 31.

In EBF, he had 1290 hits, 683 runs, 167 doubles, 171 triples, 217 home runs, 705 RBI, 362 stolen bases, a .331/.374/.628 slash, 171 wRC+, and 49.0 WAR. Pitching, he had a 92-64 record, 3.61 ERA, 1514 innings, 1276 strikeouts, 425 walks, 107 ERA+, and 24.6 WAR.

The rate stats were very impressive offensively. As of 2037, he’s one of only 22 players with 3000+ plate appearances and an OPS above one. There had been other guys who had gotten in on very short bursts, but playing only eight full seasons meant his accumulations were far lower than most voters wanted.

However, he was on the borderline for batting alone. Although definitely not a Hall of Fame pitcher, that extra value did win over some voters concerned about accumulations. Agnelo missed the cut narrowly with 59.0% and 63.4% in his first two ballots. On his third try, he just breached the 66% requirement at 69.5%, becoming the third member of EBF’s 2011 Hall of Fame class.

Agnelo played another decade of baseball post-EBF, but it was a strange ride. He signed a two-year, $7,200,000 deal with Atlanta, but ran into issues immediately. A fractured cheekbone and shoulder inflammation kept him out almost all of 1998. In 1999, Agnelo looked delightfully mid at the plate with a 104 wRC+ and 1.2 WAR over 90 games. However, he had an excellent full-time season pitching with a 3.21 ERA, 289 innings, 126 ERA+, and 6.1 WAR. The Aces earned a first-round bye in the playoffs, but went one-and-done.

St. Louis then signed Agnelo for two years and $11,600,000. He again looked pretty good as a pitcher with 3.8 WAR and a 2.56 ERA in 2000, but barely starter quality at the plate with a .665 OPS, 102 wRC+ and 0.7 WAR. Agnelo missed the entire 2001 regular season with radial nerve compression, although he was back just in time for the playoffs. He gave up three runs in two innings of his lone start.

Agnelo was a free agent again at age 35 and was signed by Charlotte for one year. He was respectable pitting and terrible hitting in his two months with the Canaries. Agnelo suffered a torn rotator cuff at the end of May 2002, putting him out 12 months and putting his career in doubt. Atlanta gave him a minor league deal for 2003 with a majors option if he was able to make it back.

That injury effectively ended Agnelo’s time as a pitcher, as he’d only be used for 11 relief appearances in the next three years combined with terrible results. He looked subpar hitting in 2003 for the Aces, although he still had good speed and passable defense. In 2004, Oakland gave him a shot and he was alright over 136 games with 1.8 WAR and a 111 wRC+.

At age 38, Agnelo went to Hartford in 2005 and had a brief renaissance. In 130 games and 108 starts, he had 3.9 WAR at the plate with a 151 wRC+ and .833 OPS. In 2006, he ended up back with Atlanta one last time and gave the Aces very middling production.

For his MLB career, Agnelo had 667 hits, 352 runs, 89 doubles, 28 triples, 99 home runs, 332 RBI, 111 stolen bases, a .256/.316/.425 slash, 112 wRC+, and 9.6 WAR. Pitching, he had a 43-25 record, 3.30 ERA, 670.2 innings, 431 strikeouts, 229 walks, 115 ERA+, and 11.1 WAR. Agnelo was out of MLB after the 2006 season.

He wanted to still play and went to the African Association of Baseball in 2007 with Luanda, posting 0.8 WAR in 118 games. Agnelo was unsigned in 2008 and finally retired at age 41. For his entire pro career as a hitter, Agnelo had 2066 hits, 1101 runs, 271 doubles, 203 triples, 335 home runs, 1078 RBI, 507 stolen bases, a .297/.349/.540 slash, 145 wRC+, and 59.5 WAR.

As a pitcher, Agnelo ended with a 135-89 record, 3.52 ERA, 2184.2 innings, 1707 strikeouts, 654 walks, 109 ERA+, and 35.7 WAR. His grand total of 95.2 WAR places him 20^th all-time among two-way guys in pro baseball history. Agnelo certainly had a unique journeyman run in his 30s, but in his 20s, he was a very valuable asset that helped Barcelona win two pennants.

Agnelo certainly had a unique journeyman run in his 30s, but in his 20s, he was a very valuable asset that helped Barcelona win two pennants. __________________ Baseball: The World's Game fictional world reports The Level Playing Field: Alternate MLB History From 1884-Onward Continental Baseball Federation world reports (8-tier promotion/relegation sim and college feeder)
