Philip Louis Knell (March 12, 1865 – June 5, 1944) was an American Major League Baseball pitcher between 1888 and 1895. He broke into the big leagues with the Pittsburgh Alleghenys at the age of 23. Knell finished his career with a 79–90 record and 4.05 earned run average. Despite having a relatively short MLB career, Knell still remains #35 on the list of Major League Baseball career hit batsmen leaders.
In a 1910 interview, slugger Ping Bodie acknowledged Knell as his first baseball mentor.[1]
