Ed Warner

Ed Warner was a pitcher who played in Major League Baseball for a brief period during the early 20th century. Born in 1889, Warner made his professional debut on July 2, 1912, and concluded his major league career on August 26, 1912. His time in the league was short-lived, but he left a mark with his unique pitching style during a transitional era in baseball, just before the onset of the more modernized game that would follow in the 1920s. In his limited career, Warner recorded a win-loss record of 1-1 and achieved an earned run average (ERA) of 3.6 over his appearances on the mound. He struck out 13 batters, showcasing his ability to overpower hitters despite the brevity of his time in the majors. With no saves to his name, Warner's role primarily revolved around starting games and attempting to keep opposing offenses at bay. While his career was not long, it occurred during a period when pitching was evolving, and players like Warner contributed to the foundational aspects of the game that would set the stage for future generations of pitchers.
