James Louis Fregosi (born April 4, 1942) is a former Major League Baseball shortstop and manager. During an 18-year baseball career, he played from 1961 � 1978 for four different teams, primarily the Los Angeles and California Angels. In that franchise's first eleven years of play, he became its first star as the team's most productive and popular player. He led the American League (AL) in double plays twice, winning the 1967 Gold Glove Award, and upon leaving the team ranked ninth in AL history with 818 double plays. He holds the franchise record with 70 career triples; several of his other team records, including career games (1,429), hits (1,408), doubles (219), runs (691) and runs batted in (546), were broken by Brian Downing between 1986 and 1989. He returned to the team as manager, guiding it to its first-ever postseason appearance in 1979, and later managed the Philadelphia Phillies to the 1993 National League pennant.

He is currently the top advance scout for the Atlanta Braves.

Jim Fregosi, the former Philles & Angels is working as a scout for the Braves, and has nothing but praise for the organization. He doesn't think too much about moneyball though. Because guys who know the game don't need it on Sports & Torts with Elliott Harris and David Spada.
