Clarence Kraft

Clarence Kraft was a professional baseball player born in 1887, who played as a position player during a brief career in Major League Baseball. His time in the majors spanned from May 1 to May 15 in 1914, a period marked by the transition from the deadball era to a more offense-oriented style of play. Although Kraft's career was short, appearing in just three games, he left a mark with a respectable batting average of .333, recording one hit in his limited opportunities at the plate. During his brief stint, Kraft did not hit any home runs or drive in runs, but his performance showcased the potential that many players had during this era, when roster spots were fiercely contested, and opportunities to shine were often fleeting. After his short-lived MLB career, Kraft disappeared from the professional baseball scene, but his brief presence in the sport reflects the many players who contributed to the rich tapestry of baseball history during the early 20th century.
