About Cole Hamels Memorabilia & Collectibles

 Presently playing for the Philadelphia Phillies, Cole Hamels is a starting pitcher in the Major League Baseball. Part of his pitching selection is a four-seam fastball, a curveball and a changeup. He was born in San Diego, California and attended Rancho Bernardo High School where he was able to show signs of being a great pitcher with his fastballs measured to have speeds of 94 mph.

In 2002, the Philadelphia Phillies selected Hamels during the amateur draft’s round one. A number of teams were initially interested in Hamels but broke his arm during his second year in high school. This discouraged a number of teams from picking him including the San Diego Padres.

Hamels started his professional baseball career in the minors and even received the Paul Owens Award as best minor league pitcher. After spending some time in the minors and recovering from a slew of injuries, Hamels was called up to the MLB in 2006 and was able to pitch five scoreless innings during his debut game.

He had a solid 2007 season after he was named to his first All-Star Team and posted a 15-5 pitching record. In 2008, Hamels was named as the NL Championship Series MVP and also the World Series MVP. He got the Babe Ruth Award in 2008 and won his first World Series title for that year.
