Nick Reeder

Nick Reeder was a professional baseball player born in 1867, whose brief career in Major League Baseball took place on April 11, 1891. He played as a position player, participating in just one game during the early days of organized baseball, a time characterized by a burgeoning popularity of the sport and the transition from the deadball era to the more lively play of the 1890s. Despite his limited playing time, Reeder's appearance in the majors represents the stories of many players of his era, who often faced fierce competition for roster spots and limited opportunities to showcase their talents. In his solitary game, he finished without a hit, home run, or run batted in, recording a batting average of 0.0. While his career was short-lived and statistics modest, Reeder remains a part of baseball history, symbolizing the challenges faced by players in the formative years of the sport.
