Charlie Hautz

Charlie Hautz was a professional baseball player born in 1852, who played during the early years of organized baseball from 1875 until his retirement in 1884. As a position player, Hautz participated in 26 games throughout his career, showcasing a solid batting average of .28. He recorded a total of 30 hits, contributing to his team's offensive efforts with 4 runs batted in (RBIs) and demonstrating his speed on the base paths with 5 stolen bases. Playing in an era that predated the modern game, Hautz's contributions came during a time when baseball was evolving rapidly, both in rules and in popularity. While he did not hit any home runs, his ability to connect with the ball and get on base reflected the skill set valued in that period. Hautz's career, though modest in terms of statistics, was part of the foundational years of Major League Baseball, and he remains a figure of historical interest as the game transitioned into the more structured form recognized today.
