Cohen Williams "Laddie" Renfroe is a former Major League Baseball pitcher. He pitched in four games with the Chicago Cubs in {{mlby|1991}}. Renfroe pitched with a sidearm delivery and appeared primarily as a relief pitcher and closer throughout his nine-year professional career.

Career

Renfroe pitched for the University of Mississippi where he set a school record for the most wins during his career. While in college, he experimented with a sidearm delivery, which he eventually adopted permanently.[1] He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 25th round of the 1984 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft, and began the {{baseball year|1984}} season with the Geneva Cubs.

After three seasons in Class-A ball, Renfroe split both the {{baseball year|1987}} and {{baseball year|1988}} seasons between the Double-A Pittsfield Cubs and Triple-A Iowa Cubs. Pitching for the Double-A Charlotte Knights of the Southern League in {{baseball year|1989}}, he led all minor league pitchers with 19 wins, and won the Southern League Pitcher of the Year award that season.[2] He was promoted back to Iowa in {{baseball year|1990}}, and spent the following three seasons with the club.

He was called up to the Chicago Cubs on July 2, {{baseball year|1991}},[2][3] and made his Major League debut the following day at Wrigley Field against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He ultimately appeared in four games as a relief pitcher with Chicago, garnering a 0–1 win–loss record and a 13.50 ERA. He returned to Iowa on July 25.[4]

In September {{baseball year|1992}} as a member of the Iowa Cubs, he was injured when struck in the head by an errant baseball.[5] The resultant head trauma caused him speech and vision problems,[2] and he retired thereafter, in part because of sustained complications from the injury.[2]

Personal life

Renfroe played soccer, football, and baseball in at Nashua High School in Nashua, New Hampshire.[2] He pitched two no-hitters in high school and led his team to the state championship in 1979.[2] After retiring, he coached baseball and soccer[2] and relocated to Olive Branch, Mississippi.[6]

His son David was an infielder in the Boston Red Sox's minor league system from {{baseball year|2010}} to {{baseball year|2013}}.[6][7]
