Hall of Fame
Dan Frisella transferred to Washington State after attending the College of San Mateo (Calif.). He was a key member of the Cougar pitching staff in 1965 and 1966. His 108 strikeouts in 1966 are a Washington State record for the wood bat era. Frisella recorded five shutouts in his Cougar career and was part of the 1965 team that won the Pac-8 Northern Division and NCAA District 8 titles on its way to the College World Series. He was 17-1 in his Cougar career and helped Washington State win the 1966 Pac-8 Northern Division crown. A third round selection by the New York Mets in the June Secondary Phase of the 1966 MLB Draft, Frisella was with the Mets by 1967. He played for the Mets from 1967-72, and then spent the next four seasons pitching for four-different big league clubs. He made 351 appearances in MLB, won 34 games and registered 57 saves.
