Mary Baumgartner (1930-2018) *87

Mary Baumgartner was an American professional baseball player who played as a catcher from 1949 through 1954 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Shhe batted and threw right-handed. Baumgartner, an All-Star and member of two champion teams, was a competent catcher during the last years of existence of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Known more for her glove work than her bat, behind the plate is where she really shined. Defensively, Baumgartner was a solid receiver with a strong throwing arm who worked well with pitchers and was able to handle a running game. She also was adept at blocking balls in the dirt and catch errant pitches, important in a league that progressively expanded the length of the base paths and pitching distance and decreased the size of the ball until the final year of play. In six years of career, she committed just only 59 errors in 1,128 total chances, for a significant fielding average of .950.
