Best Answer

Yes he did. In 1945 he played for the Phillies. The league was depleated by WWII and the Phillies had real bad pitching anyway so the manager asked if he would pitch. Jimmie didn't think he could go a whole game but gave it a try. He actually had a no hitter through 5 but as soon as he gave up a hit in the 6th they yanked him. He pitched about 23 innings in all that year and started two games.

What were some of the modern batting stats for baseball player Jimmie Foxx in 1932?

In 1932, Jimmie Foxx played for the Philadelphia Athletics. On Base Percentage (OBP) is considered by many to be a better measure of a great hitter than the Batting Average. It is calculated with the formula (Hits + Walks + Hit by Pitch) / (At Bats + Walks + Hit by Pitch + Sacrifice Flies). In 1932, Jimmie Foxx had 585 at bats, 213 hits, 116 walks, and was hit by the pitch 0 times. Sacrifice flies weren't counted before 1954. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .469. Slugging Percentage (SLG) is a popular measure of a batter's power. It is calculated as (Total Bases) / (At Bats). Another way to look at it is (Singles + 2 x Doubles + 3 x Triples + 4 x Home Runs) / (At Bats). In 1932, Jimmie Foxx had 585 at bats, and hit 113 singles, 33 doubles, 9 triples, and 58 home runs, for a .749 slugging percentage. Being able to get on base and to hit for power are two of the most important offensive skills in baseball, so the On Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage are often added together. On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic. The best hitters in Major League Baseball can achieve an OPS of .900 or higher. In 1932, Jimmie Foxx had a .469 On Base Percentage and a .749 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of 1.218. Runs Created (RC) is a baseball statistic invented by Bill James to estimate the number of runs a hitter contributes to his team. There are a number of formulas used to calculate it. One of the simplest is (On Base Percentage) × (Total Bases). In 1932, Jimmie Foxx had a .469 On Base Percentage and 438 Total Bases for 205.57 Runs Created.
