1992 OBA Hall of Fame

For the second time in three years, the Oceania Baseball Association didn’t elect any Hall of Famers. The top mark in the 1992 ballot was CF Kyle Jett at 53.7% on his third attempt. The only other player above 50% was the top debutant at 53.0% in RF Dede Hayati.



One player was dropped after ten ballots in American closer Parker Ryder. After a decade as a middling reliever in MLB, the Colorado native came to OBA at age 32 and had eight solid years between four times. He won two rings and two Reliever of the Year awards with Adelaide, putting up an OBA line of 204 saves, 1.93 ERA, 544.1 innings, 739 strikeouts, and 17.2 WAR. The longevity wasn’t there and his MLB mediocrity didn’t help him. Ryder debuted at 20.3% and stuck around despite being single-digits most of the time, finishing at 7.8%.
