Pete Redfern

Pete Redfern, born in 1954, was a professional baseball pitcher whose career spanned from 1976 until his retirement in 1982. Known for his competitive spirit and versatility on the mound, Redfern made significant contributions to the teams he played for during a transformative period in Major League Baseball. Over the course of his career, he posted a record of 42 wins and 48 losses, with an earned run average (ERA) of 4.54. He accumulated a total of 426 strikeouts and recorded three saves, showcasing his ability to both start games and come in as a relief pitcher when needed. Redfern's playing days coincided with the late 1970s and early 1980s, an era characterized by a shift in baseball dynamics, including the rise of more specialized pitching roles. His career, though modest in terms of overall statistics, reflected the hard-nosed playing style of the time, where pitchers often faced batters multiple times in a game without the benefit of modern relief strategies.
