Harry Wilhelm

Harry Wilhelm was a professional baseball pitcher who played during the late 19th century, a time when the game was evolving rapidly following the end of the deadball era. Born in 1874, Wilhelm's career spanned a brief period from August 12, 1899, to August 23, 1899. Throughout his short tenure in Major League Baseball, he recorded a win-loss record of 1-1 and maintained an earned run average (ERA) of 6.12. Though his time in the majors was limited, Wilhelm contributed to the game during a transitional phase that saw the introduction of new strategies and playing styles. With six strikeouts to his name, he showcased elements of the pitching craft that would later be refined by subsequent generations of players. Despite finishing his career without any saves, his participation in the league during this formative period remains a part of baseball history, reflecting the competitive landscape of the sport at the turn of the century.
