Biography
Pat Caraway was a professional baseball pitcher born in 1905, whose career spanned from 1930 to 1932. Playing during a transformative period in baseball, Caraway's time on the mound coincided with the tail end of the Deadball Era, a time characterized by low-scoring games and a focus on pitching finesse. Over the course of his career, he compiled a win-loss record of 22-40 and maintained an earned run average (ERA) of 5.35. Caraway demonstrated his ability to strike batters out, totaling 151 strikeouts, and contributed to his teams with three saves.
Despite his struggles in the win-loss column, Caraway's presence on the pitching staff provided depth during a time when the game was evolving. His career, which concluded on July 17, 1932, reflects the challenges many pitchers faced in the competitive landscape of early 20th-century baseball. While his statistics may not place him among the elite pitchers of the era, Caraway's contributions to the game and the teams he represented remain a part of baseball history.
