Fred Johnson

Fred Johnson was born in 1894 and enjoyed a professional baseball career that spanned from 1922 to 1939. Primarily a pitcher, Johnson’s tenure in Major League Baseball occurred during a transitional period in the sport, where the game was evolving both in terms of player talent and fan engagement. He recorded a career record of 5-10 with an earned run average (ERA) of 5.26, contributing a total of 39 strikeouts and 3 saves over the course of his career. Though Johnson may not be remembered among the elite pitchers of his time, his persistence and role in the game during the late 1920s and 1930s reflected the challenges and changes in baseball during the pre-war era. His contributions on the mound added depth to the teams he played for, and he was part of a generation of players who helped to shape the evolving landscape of professional baseball. Johnson's career, while modest in statistical terms, was significant in representing the spirit of competition and resilience that characterized the era.
