FDU baseball pitcher Bill Pollack '60 was a record-setting pitcher in his two-year career at FDU. As a junior in 1959, Pollack posted a single-season record of eight victories without losing a contest. The eight wins still stands 40 years later as the school record, but has been tied by three other pitchers. Pollack also set the school records for strikeouts in a season as a junior, setting down 90 batters. As a senior in 1960 Pollack won six games to give him 14 career wins, which put him in sixth on the career victories list. He set a school record, which since has been tied, with seven complete games. Pollack also totaled 81.1 innings pitched which ranks third in the record books. A two-time All-Collegiate League first-team selection, Pollack became the first FDU player to sign a bonus contract when he signed with the Washington Senators in 1960.
