Biography

Pi Schwert, born in 1892, was a professional baseball player who played as a position player during the early 20th century. His career spanned a brief period from 1914 until his final game on October 7, 1915. Schwert appeared in 12 games in Major League Baseball, where he recorded a total of 5 hits and 6 runs batted in, resulting in a batting average of .208.

The landscape of the sport was rapidly evolving, and players were beginning to showcase more power and speed on the field. While his career did not achieve significant fame, Schwert's participation in the sport during this transformative time highlights the breadth of talent in baseball's history, where many players, albeit briefly, contributed to the rich tapestry of the game.
