1946 Hall of Fame

Nathanael Clark, 1B

Clark was a lefty-batting slugger who was drafted 3rd overall out of UC Santa Barbara in 1929. He went to four all-star games and won two silver sluggers. He also added a gold glove to his trophy case in 1936. He retires as possibly the 2nd or 3rd best true 1B behind Aiden Massicotte and Elliot Raprap.

Career Stats: 9061 PA, 2129 H, 186 HR, .361 wOBA, 121 wRC+, 82.4 ZR, 46.2 WAR, 37.9 JAWS

Martin Knisley, RHP

Knisley's entire career was spent with the Kansas City Royals, where he went to one all-star game and won a World Series. He was a 7th overall pick out of Florida State and finished in the top 3 of the Pitcher of the Year voting twice (1933,1941).

Career Stats: 3505.3 IP, 1133 BB, 1238 K, 3.48 FIP, 90 FIP-, 64.3 WAR, 46.7 JAWS

Victor Wade, RHP

Wade split time primarily between the Tigers and A's but also spent his last two years in the majors with the Indians, where he won a World Series. He won one gold glove and went to an all-star game. Not too bad a career for a 3rd round draft pick out of Rye High School.

Career Stats: 3108.3 IP, 945 BB, 1025 K, 3.85 FIP, 98 FIP-, 44.0 WAR, 45.2 JAWS

Corbin Cuva, LHP

Cuva spent his whole career as a reliever for the Brewers - much of it as their primary closer. He went to four all-star games and was the Reliever of the Year twice.

Career Stats: 866 IP, 307 BB, 434 K, 302 SV, 3.10 FIP, 83 FIP-, 21.9 WPA, 15.4 WAR, 24.2 JAWS
