Timeline

1950

Richard Henry Pole (born October 13, 1950) is an American former professional baseball player and a former pitching coach.

A right-handed pitcher, Pole was 6 ft tall and weighed 210 lb during his playing career.

Pole was born in Trout Creek, Michigan and attended Ewen-Trout Creek High School then Northern Michigan University and signed with the Boston Red Sox as an amateur free agent.

He quickly developed into a top pitching prospect.

1973

With Class AAA Pawtucket in 1973, his 2.03 earned run average and 158 strikeouts led the International League.

That same year, he pitched a no-hitter against Peninsula.

Pole made his Major League debut on August 3, 1973, starting the second game of a doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles.

He surrendered six runs in 3 2⁄3 innings pitched and received the loss, as the Orioles won 8–2.

He remained with the team, and spent the next four seasons moving between the rotation and the bullpen for the Red Sox.

1974

His one save came on September 28, 1974.

He pitched 4 innings to preserve a 7-2 Red Sox win over the Tigers.

He saved the game for Red Sox Hall of Famer Luis Tiant.

After the end of his Major League career, he continued to play professionally in Mexico.

1975

Pole's career was nearly ended by an injury during a game against the Orioles on June 30, 1975, when a line drive by Tony Muser struck him in the face.

The ball had been hit so hard that it bounced into foul territory near third base, scoring two runs on the play.

Pole sustained a broken jaw and damage to the retina of his right eye.

The damaged eye never fully recovered, and he ultimately lost ninety percent of the vision in that eye.

Pole recovered from his injuries in time to pitch in the 1975 World Series, walking the only two batters he faced in a 6–2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds in Game 5.

The Red Sox ultimately lost the series in seven games.

1976

At the end of the 1976 season, Pole became one of the inaugural members of the Seattle Mariners franchise, as they selected him from the Red Sox with the seventh pick in the 1976 MLB expansion draft.

1977

Pole spent 1977 and 1978 with the Mariners, but his performance was not up to the standard he had set in Boston, possibly due to effects from the injury.

His most memorable moment with Seattle came on August 5, 1977, when he surrendered Reggie Jackson's 300th career home run.

1979

On March 24, 1979, the Mariners released him.

Pole ended his time in the majors with 25 wins, 37 losses, one save, and a 5.05 ERA in 122 games pitched and 531 innings.

1983

Pole began his coaching career in the Chicago Cubs' minor league system in 1983, and joined their Major League coaching staff in 1988, working as pitching coach for Don Zimmer.

1991

Pole remained in that capacity through 1991, during which time he oversaw the development of Greg Maddux.

Maddux credits Pole as a major influence, and a significant contributor to his success.

1992

Pole returned to his roots as pitching coach for the Pawtucket Red Sox in 1992, then spent 1993 to 1997 on the coaching staff of the San Francisco Giants, under Dusty Baker.

1998

Pole next worked as bullpen coach for Boston in 1998.

1999

After that, he was pitching coach for the Anaheim Angels in 1999, for the Cleveland Indians from 2000 to 2001, and for the Montreal Expos in 2002.

2002

Pole's nephew, Hank Pole pitched professionally in the Montreal Expos' system in 2002.

2003

He re-joined the Cubs' staff in 2003.

2005

In a 2005 interview, he said, "I remember when Dick Pole told Me One day, 'Why don't you stop trying to strike guys out? Just try to get them out, and you'll probably strike out just as many guys, if not more. He was right. I've always tried with two strikes just to make a pitch and get the guy out. You get a lot of strikeouts just on accident."

2006

He was most recently the pitching coach for the Cincinnati Reds, taking the job in early November 2006.

2009

On October 2, 2009, the Reds relieved him of his duties, and Pole reportedly left immediately after being informed.
