About this page

3 major-league players born in the United Kingdom appear in this archive, between 2015 and 2026. 1 of them was on a major-league roster in 2026. Together they are worth 0.9 dbWAR, on 0 home runs and 115 strikeouts thrown.

The most valuable of them by our own measure is Michael Petersen, worth 0.9 dbWAR across 2024–2026. His best year was 2026, at 1.1 WAR. Chris Reed has been in the majors longest of anyone here, since 2015.

Michael Petersen has thrown the most strikeouts, 109. The hardest ball anyone from here has struck came off P.J. Conlon's bat at 77.1 mph, in 2018. These are totals over the seasons published here rather than whole careers: a player who debuted before 2015 arrives mid-career, and his numbers start where the archive does.

They come from 3 different towns and cities. In 2026 they are spread across one club, Miami Marlins.

Country here means country of birth, taken from each player's biographical record. It is not nationality and not who a player has represented internationally — the three disagree often enough to matter, and birthplace is the one this data actually holds. Every rate statistic and every dbWAR figure is computed from play-by-play using constants measured from each season's own data, so the numbers are era-correct without being copied from anywhere.
