Who is Timothy Cox?

Timothy Mark Cox is an Australian baseball player who currently plays for the New South Wales Patriots.

As an 18 year old, Cox was signed to the Boston Red Sox organisation by Jon Deeble and had a solid first season with the GCL Red Sox going 3-1 with a 2.19 ERA and was promoted to the Lowell Spinners going a 1-1 season and a 3.89 ERA. His maiden season proving to be very successful with a Gulf Coast League best 56 strikeouts.

Tim made his debut for the New South Wales Patriots in 2005 Claxton Shield, going 1-0 with a 6.75 ERA.

He was then promoted to Class A with the Greenville Drive and as a relief pitcher he went 5-6 with a 2.80 ERA. His success was rewarded by making the Australia national baseball team for the 2006 Intercontinental Cup, he recorded a 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA.

In 2007, he was again promoted to the Lancaster JetHawks, but being the youngest on the team at 20 years old, Cox struggled with a 6.18 ERA and mid-season was hit in the head by a line drive and decided to retire from a career in the US.

Cox returned to baseball in Australia for the 2008 Claxton Shield where he dominated the competition, going 3-0 with a 1.00 ERA and was awarded Claxton Shield Pitcher of the Year. Unfortunately he gave up a one run in the final, a solo shot from Mitch Graham, which would prove costly as Perth Heat's Mark Kelly would go on to throw a shutout.
