highlights=Scott Vernon Pose (pronEng|poʊ̪z; born
February 11 ,1967 , inDavenport, Iowa ) was aMajor League Baseball outfielder. He is an alumnus of the University of Arkansas.Drafted by the
Cincinnati Reds in the 34th round of the 1989MLB amateur draft, Pose would make his Major League Baseball debut with theFlorida Marlins on April 5, 1993, and appear in his final game on September 29, 2000.Pose was a member of the inaugural Marlins 1993 franchise and was the first official batter in Marlins history. Nevertheless, he only appeared in 15 games with the expansion Marlins, as the bulk of his career playing time came later in the decade with the
New York Yankees andKansas City Royals . Pose's career season was in 1999, when he hit .285 as an outfield reserve with the Royals. Despite earning the praise of Royals ManagerTony Muser , Pose's playing time decreased in 2000, as he would start in only three games, appearing almost exclusively as apinch hitter . While Pose did his best to get on base, his lack of power limited his career: in 381 career plate appearances, Pose never homered and managed only seven doubles and a lone triple.Pose portrayed the fictional baseball player "Matt Crane" in the 1999 film "For Love of the Game" starring
Kevin Costner .Teams
