Biographical Information

Jeremy Hall pitched in the Tampa Bay Rays system from 2007 to 2011. He briefly reached Triple-A, but never ascended to the majors.

He was originally drafted by the Florida Marlins in the 27th round of the 2006 amateur draft, but opted not to sign. The Rays eventually signed him as an undrafted free agent. In his first pro campaign, he went 5-1 with a 1.55 ERA in 13 starts split between two low-level clubs, success tempered by the fact that he was about 2.5 years older than the average league hurler. Indeed, for most of his career, he was 1-to-3 years older than the pitchers in his league, on average. In 2008, he was 10-3 with a 4.61 mark in 21 games (19 starts) for the Columbus Catfish and in 2009, he was 14-7, 3.62 in 25 starts for the Charlotte Stone Crabs. He was 6-9 with a 3.52 mark for the Montgomery Biscuits in 2010, earning a spot in the Arizona Fall League; in 2 1/3 relief innings with the Peoria Saguaros, he had a 7.71 ERA. He was also a Southern League Mid-Season All-Star that year. He reached Triple-A for the first and only time in 2011, going 0-2 with a 8.47 mark in 5 games (4 starts) for the Durham Bulls. He voluntarily retired on May 29, 2011.

Overall, he went 36-24 with a 3.71 ERA in 96 games (89 starts). In 500 1/3 innings, he allowed 469 hits and 161 walks (1.259 WHIP), while striking out 380 batters. He led the Appalachian League in innings pitched in 2007 and the Florida State League in wins in 2009.
