Howard Lohr

Howard Lohr was a professional baseball player born in 1892, who played in the early 20th century, a time characterized by the transition from the deadball era to a more offensive style of play. His major league career spanned from 1914 until August 5, 1916, during which he appeared in 21 games as a position player. Despite a relatively brief career, Lohr made his mark with a total of 11 hits, contributing 8 runs batted in (RBIs) and demonstrating his speed on the bases with 3 stolen bases. His batting average stood at .204, reflecting the challenges many players faced during this transformative period in baseball history. Lohr's role in the game was typical of the time, where players often specialized in certain aspects of the game, and his ability to steal bases indicated a focus on speed and agility. Though he did not hit any home runs during his career, his contributions to his teams were felt in other ways, particularly with his ability to drive in runs when opportunities arose. While not a household name, Howard Lohr's participation in the sport during its evolution helped pave the way for future generations of players who would continue to develop the game into what it is today.
