“Happy” Jack Stivetts made his big league debut back in 1889 for the American Association's St. Louis Browns. It was an exciting rookie year, as he only had a 12-7 record, but he led that league in ERA (2.25), ERA+ *186), FIP (2.93), WHIP (1.153), and SO/BB (2.10).
Jack Stivetts played eleven seasons in the Majors with the meat of his career playing for the Boston Beaneaters (1892-98).
The Pitcher had four 20-plus Win years, and was an exceptional hitter, batting .305 for the Braves, a stat that helped to land him on this list.
Stivetts overall win 131 Games with an OPS of .799, which is one hell of a combination.
