The Doubleday Baseball League is proud to announce that Alan Trammell has been officially inducted into the DBL Hall of Fame, marking a career that ranks among the most accomplished in league history.
Over an outstanding 18-year DBL career, Trammell recorded 2,845 hits, 517 doubles, 254 home runs, and 1,423 RBIs, finishing with a career slash line of .274/.337/.418 and a total of 88.3 WAR. Originally drafted 2nd overall in 1976, Trammell quickly established himself as one of the league’s premier middle infielders and remained a fixture at shortstop for nearly two decades.
Trammell spent the majority of his career with the Cincinnati Reds, where he developed into a complete two-way player, before closing out his career with the Baltimore Orioles. His individual accolades include a Federal League Most Valuable Player Award in 1983, multiple All-Star selections, seven Gold Glove Awards, and two Silver Slugger Awards, reflecting sustained excellence at one of the game’s most demanding positions.
Defensively, Trammell set the standard at shortstop. He appeared in over 2,600 games at the position, posting a career .983 fielding percentage and a remarkable +182.4 zone rating, numbers that underscore both his range and reliability. At the plate, he combined contact ability, gap power, and plate discipline, consistently providing value at the top and middle of the lineup.
Trammell also contributed on the postseason stage and was a member of the 1992 World Series championship team with the Baltimore Orioles, adding a team title to an already distinguished résumé.
Alan Trammell retired following the 1994 season and now takes his place among the game’s all-time greats with his induction into the Doubleday Baseball League Hall of Fame. His career serves as a benchmark for excellence, consistency, and professionalism across the league.
