Mel Roach Autographs
Melvin Earl Roach was born on October 16, 1933, in Oakland, California. He was a professional baseball player who played as a right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB). Mel Roach started his professional career in 1951 when he signed with the St. Louis Cardinals as an amateur free agent. He eventually made his debut in the Major Leagues on May 2, 1955, against the Milwaukee Braves. Roach played for five seasons with the Cardinals, and then he was traded to the Cincinnati Reds in 1960, where he played for one season.
Roach's best performance occurred during the 1956 season, where he pitched in 36 games, starting in 20, and won nine while losing only four. He achieved 10 complete games that season, including two shutouts. In 1959, he had a career-high nine saves and a 2.35 earned run average. Although Roach was an excellent pitcher, he struggled with arm problems, which led to the decline of his career. After spending two seasons in the minor leagues, Roach retired in 1962.
Mel Roach had a career record of 29 wins, 17 losses, 297 innings pitched, 96 strikeouts, a 3.71 Earned run average (ERA), and 13 saves. After retiring as a professional baseball player, Roach spent some years as a police officer in Oakland, California. He still remains a legacy among baseball fans for being part of the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds. Roach passed away on May 23, 2017, at the age of 83.
