Doyle's pro career lasted eight seasons (1935–1941, 1943). In his 51 MLB games pitched, he posted a 6–15 won–lost record and a poor 6.95 earned run average, surrendering 277 hits, 155 bases on balls, and 172 earned runs in 22223 innings pitched; he fanned 101. Notably, he was one of four players that Brooklyn traded to the Cardinals on June 12, 1940, in their blockbuster acquisition of slugger Joe Medwick. He managed the Morristown Red Sox of the Mountain States League in 1950.

Doyle died in the city of his birth, Knoxville, Tennessee, of a pulmonary infarction in 1951 at age 39.[1]
