About: Hal Carlson

Carlson used his curveball exclusively, owing to his lack of speed. He played seven years for the Pirates, going 42-55, went 42-48 in four years with the Phillies, and had a mark of 30-17 with the Cubs in four years. He had his most wins in 1926, with 17 (along with 12 losses). He had a career best 2.23 ERA in 1919.
