Fred Francis Marsh (January 5, 1924 – October 26, 2006) was an American infielder in Major League Baseball who played in 1949 and from 1951 to 1956 for the Cleveland Indians, St. Louis Browns, Washington Senators, Chicago White Sox and Baltimore Orioles, primarily as a third baseman. Marsh threw and batted right-handed; he was 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) tall and weighed 180 pounds (82 kg) pounds. Born in Valley Falls, Kansas, Marsh was signed originally by the Chicago Cubs in 1942 after graduating from Chicago's Steinmetz High School in 1941. Marsh joined the Navy during World War II and was discharged in 1945. Marsh made his big league debut on April 19, 1949, at the age of 25 for the Indians, who acquired him from the Cubs' system before the 1947 season. He appeared in only one game that year, as a pinch runner. Overall, Marsh hit .239 in 465 games in his career. He collected 296 hits in 1,236 at bats, including 43 doubles, eight triples and ten home runs. He scored 146 runs and drove in 96. He had a stellar stolen base percentage, as he was only caught once in 14 attempts – a 92.9% success rate. He had a good eye at the plate as well, walking 125 times and striking out 171 times. He had a .948 career fielding percentage. Statistically, the player he is most similar to is Ken Hamlin. After his baseball career, he spent many years as a postal carrier. After his death in 2006 in Corry, Pennsylvania at the age of 82, he was buried at Pine Grove Cemetery in Corry. ref.
