Art Houtteman Stats

Art Houtteman was born on Sunday, August 7, 1927, in Detroit, Michigan. Houtteman was 17 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 29, 1945, with the Detroit Tigers. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Art Houtteman baseball stats page.
"(Art) Houtteman has the weapons for which pitchers sweat years. He has a 'live arm,' his sinker is deceptive, his curve sharp. But he has a tendency to get pitches 'too fat' after he has the batter at his mercy. One of the Yankees said last spring, 'Houtteman is the greatest two-strike pitcher in the majors. But then he starts messin' around, tryin' to be cute, and the first thing you know he's loused up.'" - Sportswriter Whitey Lewis in Sport (November 1954)
