Arab League Baseball’s 2022 Hall of Fame class had three players, co-headlined by SS Mohammed Mohamed and SP Abdullah Al-Tamtami who both were near unanimous at 99.1%. 2B/DH Ivan Smirnov joined them on his debut with a solid 75.7%. Three others were above 50%, but short of the 66% requirement. CL Souilem Boudiaf debuted at 54.6% and fellow reliever Ramy Kayat had the same on his fourth try. 3B Salem Aldani saw 52.6% in his second ballot.

Pitcher Osmar Yare was removed after ten failed ballots, peaking with a 26.5% debut and ending at only 6.6%. He regressed too quickly to get big accumulation as he was done after his age 31 season. Yare had 11 years with Mosul and won three ALB titles with the Muskies, posting a 143-93 record, 3.47 ERA, 2277.2 innings, 2607 strikeouts, 782 walks, 113 ERA+, and 44.0 WAR. Yare had a nice Hall of Good type career, but was correctly excluded from the HOF.

Mohammed “Demo” Mohamed – Shortstop – Mosul Muskies – 99.1% First Ballot

Mohammed Mohamed was a 6’3’’, 200 pound right-handed shortstop from Al-Kharj, a city of 376,000 in central Saudi Arabia. Mohamed was an incredible contact hitter at his peak who also hit for impressive power. He was also better than most at drawing walks and avoiding strikeouts. Mohamed’s 162 game average had 43 home runs, 34 doubles, and 4 triples and he showed equal potency against righties and lefties. Mohamed’s baserunning skills were above average and he had respectable speed in his 20s, but later injuries slowed him down considerably.

In his prime, Mohamed was a fantastic defensive shortstop who earned nine Gold Gloves. His range decreased as he aged, but Mohamed still could field the position adequately even into his late 30s with strong glove work and instincts. His body began to fall apart in the second half of his career, especially his knees. Still, Mohamed managed to be one of the very few in baseball history to play in 25 seasons through sheer will and skill. His work ethic and intelligence was both top notch, although he wasn’t the vocal leader of the clubhouse.

Rarely could someone with Mohamed’s build play a strong defensive shortstop and hit effectively. Mosul spotted that potential early on, giving him a developmental deal in April 1990. Mohamed didn’t spend long in the academy, becoming one of the very select few to make a pro debut at age 18. He played 47 games and started 13 in 1992 with promising results.

At only 19, he was a full-time starter in 1993 and led the Eastern Conference with 50 doubles. Mohamed won a Silver Slugger as a teenager and it was immediately clear that he was destined for superstardom in the still fledgling Arab League. 1994 would see a setback as he missed almost the entire season between a torn back muscle and strained hip muscle.

While Mohamed would miss a few weeks in 1999, 2001, and 2002, he stayed largely healthy for the rest of his Mosul run. With that, he became the face of Arab League baseball, leading the conference in WAR from 1995-2003. Mohamed won Silver Sluggers and Gold Gloves each season and each year but 2003 was worth 10+ WAR. Mohamed led in hits four times, runs twice, homers twice, RBI thrice, total bases twice, batting average five times, OBP five times, slugging thrice, OPS thrice, and wRC+ thrice.

Mosul realized they struck gold and gave Mohamed an eight-year, $7,220,000 extension in June 1996. He won five MVPs (1995, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000), while taking second in 1998, 2001, and 2002. At only 22 years old, Mohamed’s 1996 earned a Triple Crown with 42 homers, 135 RBI, and a .389 average.

It was a true all-timer at 15.99 WAR, which not only set the ALB record. It was the second-best WAR mark by any position player in world history to that point. As of 2037, this still ranks 4^th among all position players in baseball history and ranks 27^th including all players. This season had Mohamed’s career bests in hits (229), walks (80), stolen bases (59), and on-base percentage. It also had his best defensive stats with a 20.7 zone rating and 1.114 EFF.

Mohamed’s 1997 was comparable with another Triple Crown at 51 homers, 141 RBI, and a .390 batting average. This was his best batting average and wRC+ (242) of his career with 14.5 WAR. Mohamed had a career best 129 runs in 1998. His 1999 was on pace for his best-ever OPS (1.276) and slugging (.827), but he just missed the cut off due to injury to qualify as the league leader.

In 2002, Mohamed had his best power stats with 62 home runs and 162 RBI. Eventual home run king Nordine Soule had him beat in the conference for dingers, but Mohamed’s RBI mark was a single season record to that point. With higher offense in later eras, his tallies fell down the leaderboards. However, Mohamed’s rate stats still stand prominently as of 2037.

With 15.99, 14.47, 13.80, and 13.06, Mohamed still has ALB’s top four seasons in WAR for a position player. His .465 OBP from 1996 remains #1 and he has four of the top six OBP seasons. Mohamed’s .390 batting average in 1997 was the top mark for a decade. He also holds the #5 and #9 ranked seasons by OPS. His early exploits helped explode baseball’s popularity in the region and specifically in Iraq with Mosul and back in his native Saudi Arabia.

Mohamed’s dominance helped turn Mosul one of ALB’s first great dynasties. They had eight straight division titles from 1995-2002 with Eastern Conference finals appearances each year sans 2002. The Muskies won their first pennant in 1996, but fell to Cairo in the ALB Championship. Mohamed was the conference finals MVP in both 1995 and 1996.

In 1998 and 1999, Mosul repeated as ALB Champion, beating Khartoum in 98 and Amman in 99. In both finals, Mohamed was named MVP to further cement his status as a legend. 2000 saw Mosul go 121-41, the winningest season in ALB history, although they suffered a shocking conference finals loss to 83-79 Kuwait. The Muskies bounced back and won the 2001 ALB title over Casablanca. As of 2037, Mosul is the only ALB franchise to win three titles in a four year stretch.

Amazingly, you could argue that Mohamed was even more statistically impressive in the playoffs than the regular season. Over 58 starts with Mosul, he had 76 hits, 45 runs, 13 doubles, 27 home runs, 60 RBI, 17 walks, 12 stolen bases, a .339/.390/.777 slash, 220 wRC+, and 4.4 WAR. Mohamed held a number of playoff records until the 2030s and as of 2037, still ranks 4^th in playoff homers, 12^th in hits, 7^th in runs, and 3^rd in RBI.

Mohamed also put up strong numbers in the World Baseball Championship for Saudi Arabia. He regularly represented his country from 1994-2016 despite never playing for one of the Saudi pro teams. Over 188 WBC games, Mohamed had 185 hits, 113 runs, 35 doubles, 50 home runs, 104 RBI, 98 walks, a .276/.378/.560 slash, 169 wRC+, and 9.3 WAR.

As of 2037 among all world players, Mohamed ranks 60^th in WAR for position players, 53^rd in hits and 79^th in runs. Amongst Saudis, he has the most WAR, games, runs, hits, doubles, homers, RBI, and walks. Mohamed also has by far the best OPS among anyone with more than 10 at-bats, as well as the best OBP and best slugging percentage.

In 2003, Mosul’s playoff run ended with a 77-83 finish. This broke Mohamed’s 10+ WAR streak, although he still led the conference at 8.9. The Muskies thought a rebuild may soon be in order and Mohamed’s contract would be up after the 2004 campaign. Thus they made the shocking decision to trade the now 30-year old superstar to reigning ALB champ Casablanca for two prospects and a second round draft pick.

With Mosul, Mohamed had 1946 hits, 1082 runs, 396 doubles, 432 home runs, 1231 RBI, 558 walks, 263 stolen bases, a .359/.422/.689 slash, 206 wRC+, and 119.0 WAR. Mohamed had about as good of a decade for the Muskies that any player has posted ever. He remained a beloved hero for Muskies fans for decades after and his #8 uniform would eventually get retired.

Mohamed’s Casablanca tenure would only last 18 teams. In mid-April, he lost five weeks to a strained groin muscle. Shortly after returning in late May, Mohamed suffered a torn PCL in his right knee, knocking him out 9-10 months. It was an abrupt and unfortunate end to his historic first ALB run. Mohamed would soon turn 31 and his next step was unknown. Some teams were leery about such an injury, but Mohamed still received attention and offers from all around the world.

He ended up making the jump to Major League Baseball in 2005 on a six year, $67 million deal with Nashville. It looked like it might be cursed from the start, as Mohamed tore the PCL in his left knee on May 1, ending his MLB debut season after 30 games. Despite two bad knees, Mohamed returned in 2006 and delivered in a full season with 8.7 WAR and a .931 OPS, winning a Silver Slugger.

Nashville finished 101-61 and went all the way to the World Series, defeating Winnipeg in the finale. Mohamed won World Series MVP, joining a very select group in world history to win finals MVP three times and to win it in multiple world leagues. In 14 playoff starts, he had 17 hits, 10 runs, 3 homers, 7 RBI, and .954 OPS. In the minds of many, this alone fully justified Mohamed’s big price tag and solidified him as a true legend of the game.

Unfortunately, Mohamed had only 15 games in 2007 thanks a torn labrum that saw a setback and required surgery. He managed to stay healthy the next two years for the Knights and although his stats were well down from his prime, he was still 9.8 WAR over the two seasons. Nashville lost in the first round of 2008’s playoffs, but went on another World Series run in 2009, beating defending champ Cincinnati for the title.

Mohamed again won World Series MVP and was the American Association Championship Series MVP. He had 15 playoff starts with 26 hits, 15 runs, 4 doubles, 5 homers, 20 RBI, a 1.184 OPS, 230 wRC+, and 1.5 WAR. This gave Mohamed two World Series MVPs and including his ALB days gave him four finals MVPs and three subleague finals MVPs.

You could make a case for Mohamed as the greatest ever playoff hitter in all of baseball history. For his combined career, he had 104 playoff starts, 132 hits, 76 runs, 21 doubles, 36 home runs, 91 RBI, a .334/.379/.676 slash, 1.055 OPS, 192 wRC+, and 6.5 WAR. He posted incredible numbers consistently in the big games, winning five championship rings. Mohamed also had the very rare feat of having multiple rings in multiple leagues.

Despite Mohamed’s 2009 heroics, Nashville bought out the final year of his contract at $2,400,000, making him a free agent heading towards age 36. With the Knights, Mohamed had 493 games, 509 hits, 273 runs, 61 doubles, 104 home runs, 314 RBI, a .282/.353/.493 slash, 134 wRC+, and 20.4 WAR. Mohamed quickly found his next home, inking a three-year, $50,600,000 deal with Houston.

Mohamed was still a solid starter at 4.3 WAR in 2010 in 133 games, although his bat had started to decline. Houston would make the 2010 playoffs, but lose in the first round. Mohamed would miss almost all of 2011 with another torn PCL and didn’t meet the vesting criteria for the third year of his deal.

Detroit gave the now 38-year old Mohamed a shot in 2012 and he showed flashes of his old greatness with .924 OPS, 180 wRC+, and 4.7 WAR in only 91 games. He won a Silver Slugger with the small sample size, but missed much of the summer to injury. Houston brought him back in 2013 at $22,200,000, but a torn meniscus among other injures kept him out almost all year. Between the runs with the Hornets, Mohamed had 213 games, a .792 OPS, 119 wRC+, and 6.2 WAR.

This ended Mohamed’s MLB run with 797 games, 800 hits, 431 runs, 100 doubles, 170 home runs, 501 RBI, 288 walks, a .276/.346/.494 slash, 135 wRC+, and 31.2 WAR. He wanted to still play somewhere and looked towards an ALB return, signing a one-year, $13,400,000 deal with Khartoum. In 101 games, he had 4.6 WAR, a .932 OPS, and 169 wRC+, showing he could still contribute when healthy.

Doha gave Mohamed a three-year, $31,300,000 deal after that. Groin injuries kept him out more than half of 2015, while a ruptured finger tendon cost him almost all of 2016. Mohamed also was starting to decline even when healthy, posting .7 WAR, a .810 OPS, and 120 wRC+ in 116 starts for the Dash. He was let go for 2017 and went unsigned, eventually conceding retirement at age 43.

For his ALB career, Mohamed had 2174 hits, 1196 runs, 434 doubles, 493 home runs, 1371 RBI, 615 walks, 279 stolen bases, a .346/.409/.668 slash, 197 wRC+, and 126.6 WAR. His rate stats are incredible and he remains ALB’s all-time OPS leader as of 2037. Mohamed’s triple slash ranks 8^th/4^th/5^th among ALB batters with 3000+ plate appearances and he ranks 4^th in WAR among position players.

Because of his MLB run and injuries, he didn’t soar up the accumulation lists. Still, Mohamed ranks 68^th in hits, 68^th in runs, 49^th in homers, and 61^st in RBI. He also has the 8^th best zone rating among ALB shortstops at 94.3. Mohamed is one of three to win 5+ MVPs and has 9 ALB Gold Gloves and 10 Silver Sluggers.

Even with his gaps, Mohamed quickly ranks among most lists on the top ten or top five ALB players. Some posit that he would’ve ended up ALB’s undisputed GOAT had he stuck around between his individual accolades, stellar playoff numbers, and title runs with Mosul.

For his full pro career, Mohamed had 2974 hits, 1627 runs, 534 doubles, 663 home runs, 1872 RBI, 903 walks, a .324/.389/.613 slash, 1.002 OPS, 177 wRC+, and 157.8 WAR. As of 2037, he’s one of only 48 Hall of Famers or HOF locks to finish with an OPS above one. Mohamed ranks 22^nd in WAR amongst position players and 30^th among all players. He has a case as the best-ever player to come from the Arab World all together and is pretty much undisputed as the GOAT from Saudi Arabia.

Had his knees not constantly gone boom, some think Mohamed could’ve posted totals rivaling the other legendary shortstops like Jimmy Caliw, Harvey Coyle, and Darwin Morris. Few if any players could match Mohamed’s incredible playoff production as well. He’s definitely one of the true immortals of pro baseball and somehow only got 99.1% for his Hall of Fame induction in 2022.

Groin injuries kept him out more than half of 2015, while a ruptured finger tendon cost him almost all of 2016. Mohamed also was starting to decline even when healthy, posting .7 WAR, a .810 OPS, and 120 wRC+ in 116 starts for the Dash. He was let go for 2017 and went unsigned, eventually conceding retirement at age 43. For his ALB career, Mohamed had 2174 hits, 1196 runs, 434 doubles, 493 home runs, 1371 RBI, 615 walks, 279 stolen bases, a .346/.409/.668 slash, 197 wRC+, and 126.6 WAR. His rate stats are incredible and he remains ALB’s all-time OPS leader as of 2037. Mohamed’s triple slash ranks 8^th/4^th/5^th among ALB batters with 3000+ plate appearances and he ranks 4^th in WAR among position players. Because of his MLB run and injuries, he didn’t soar up the accumulation lists. Still, Mohamed ranks 68^th in hits, 68^th in runs, 49^th in homers, and 61^st in RBI. He also has the 8^th best zone rating among ALB shortstops at 94.3. Mohamed is one of three to win 5+ MVPs and has 9 ALB Gold Gloves and 10 Silver Sluggers. Even with his gaps, Mohamed quickly ranks among most lists on the top ten or top five ALB players. Some posit that he would’ve ended up ALB’s undisputed GOAT had he stuck around between his individual accolades, stellar playoff numbers, and title runs with Mosul. For his full pro career, Mohamed had 2974 hits, 1627 runs, 534 doubles, 663 home runs, 1872 RBI, 903 walks, a .324/.389/.613 slash, 1.002 OPS, 177 wRC+, and 157.8 WAR. As of 2037, he’s one of only 48 Hall of Famers or HOF locks to finish with an OPS above one. Mohamed ranks 22^nd in WAR amongst position players and 30^th among all players. He has a case as the best-ever player to come from the Arab World all together and is pretty much undisputed as the GOAT from Saudi Arabia. Had his knees not constantly gone boom, some think Mohamed could’ve posted totals rivaling the other legendary shortstops like Jimmy Caliw, Harvey Coyle, and Darwin Morris. Few if any players could match Mohamed’s incredible playoff production as well. He’s definitely one of the true immortals of pro baseball and somehow only got 99.1% for his Hall of Fame induction in 2022. __________________ Baseball: The World's Game fictional world reports Continental Baseball Federation world reports (8-tier promotion/relegation sim and college feeder)
