Lynn Nelson

Lynn Nelson was a professional baseball pitcher who played in Major League Baseball from 1930 to 1940. Born in 1905, Nelson's career unfolded during an era marked by a transition in the game, moving away from the deadball era and into a time of increased offensive production. Over his decade-long career, he compiled a record of 33 wins and 42 losses, with an earned run average (ERA) of 5.25. Known for his ability to strike out batters, Nelson recorded a total of 255 strikeouts, and he also contributed to his teams with 6 saves. Nelson's playing style reflected the competitive nature of the league during his time, as he navigated the challenges posed by increasingly powerful hitters. While he may not have been a superstar, his contributions on the mound were significant in terms of providing depth to the pitching staffs of the teams he played for. After his last game on July 3, 1940, Nelson's legacy as a reliable pitcher continued to be remembered by baseball historians and fans alike.
