Pat Zachry Biography

Pat Zachry is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on April 24, 1952 in Richmond, Texas, United States. Patrick Paul Zachry (born April 24 1952) is a former professional baseball player. He played during Major League Baseball from 1976 to 1985. He is most likely remembered in the context of one player that the Cincinnati Reds sent to the New York Mets in the notorious “Midnight Massacre”.

They are the current World Series champion Reds dealt the starting pitcher Clay Kirby to the Montreal Expos in exchange for third-baseman Bob Bailey at the 1975 Winter Meetings in order to fill in the team for Zachry. While he first was first introduced on the 11th of April, 1976, out in his bullpen position, he shifted to the starting position within a short time. On May 28th, he shut down all of the Los Angeles Dodgers to improve to 4-0 and an 1.17 ERA. In the course of the season, Zachry compiled a 14-7 record, a 2.74 ERA, and a team-leading 143 strikeouts across the 204 innings pitched.

The hernia, coupled with a sore elbow, delayed Zachry’s 1977 Spring training, and denied him the opening day start. He did not hit the mound until the fifth game of the season, and was immediately pounded by the Houston Astros for three runs in his first inning of work. In the month of May, Zachry was 0-4 with a 9.85 ERA. Following an 8-0 loss to Tom Seaver and the New York Mets at Shea Stadium on June 7, Zachry’s record fell to 3-7 with a 5.19 ERA.

Zachry was masterful to start his first full season as a Met. After defeating his former club on April 30, he finished the first month of the 1978 season with a 3-0 record and 1.85 ERA. A complete game victory over Tommy Lasorda’s Los Angeles Dodgers on June 7 improved his record to 7-1, and convinced Lasorda to add Zachry as the sole Mets representative on the National League All-Star team (he did not appear in the game).

In the postseason, Zachry won game two of the 1976 National League Championship Series against the Philadelphia Phillies in Veterans Stadium as well as Game 3 of the 1976 World Series with the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium, both by an overall score of 6-1.

“The “Big Red Machine” became the first team to sweep the entire postseason from the time it was the time that the Championship Series were begun in 1969, in the process of the world’s second championship in a row. Following this season Zachry was diagnosed with a hernia operation and was on the verge of recovery when he along with San Diego Padres closer Butch Metzger were awarded co-winners of the National League Rookie of the Year Award. This is the first time that in the history of major league baseball that co-winners were announced. Zachry was the first Rookie of the Year Award winning pitcher to begin and win in a World Series game during his rookie season.

Zachry was selected to his team the Cincinnati Reds in the nineteenth round of the 1970 Major League Baseball draft. Through six seasons within their system of farm players, he recorded the record of 54-42 with 3.00 earned-run average, and had 619 strikes. When he was a part of the Tampa Tarpons in 1971, Zachry received notification of his eligibility for the draft for the country’s ongoing involvement in Vietnam However Zachry failed an examination for the U.S. Army’s physical exam.

Seaver, meanwhile, was in a contract dispute with Mets chairman M. Donald Grant, and had requested a trade. On June 15, 1977, Zachry, Doug Flynn, Steve Henderson and Dan Norman were traded to the Mets in exchange for Seaver; the Beaver County Times wrote that Zachry was the “principal figure” acquired by the Mets in the deal.
