Roy Sanders

Roy Sanders was a professional baseball pitcher whose career spanned from 1918 to 1920. Born in 1894, he made his mark in the early years of the 20th century, a time when Major League Baseball was beginning to establish itself as America’s pastime. Throughout his brief career, Sanders played in a total of 16 games, finishing with a record of 1-3 and an earned run average (ERA) of 4.6. His ability to strike out batters was evidenced by his total of 10 strikeouts, although he did not record any saves during his time in the league. Competing during an era that was marked by significant changes in baseball, including the tail end of the deadball era, Sanders was part of a generation of players who were transitioning into a more modern style of play. While his career was short-lived, his contributions to the game during this formative period reflect the challenges and dynamics faced by pitchers of his time. After his last appearance on May 31, 1920, Sanders retired from professional baseball, leaving behind a modest yet noteworthy legacy in the annals of the sport.
