Stew Bowers

Stew Bowers was a professional baseball pitcher born in 1915, whose career spanned from 1935 until his last appearance on May 18, 1937. Bowers played during a time when the game was transitioning from the deadball era, characterized by low-scoring games and a focus on pitching, to a more offensive approach that would dominate the following decades. Over the course of his brief career, he compiled a record of 2-1 with an earned run average (ERA) of 4.6. He registered a total of 5 strikeouts, showcasing his capability on the mound, although he did not record any saves. Bowers’ playing style reflected the era's emphasis on pitching, and he contributed to his teams with competitive performances despite his limited tenure in Major League Baseball. Though his career was short-lived, his presence on the mound during the late 1930s served as a connection to an evolving game that would soon embrace the power-hitting era. His achievements, while modest in the grand landscape of baseball history, are a testament to the many players who contributed to the sport during its formative years.
