Alice Haylett

Alice Haylett (April 2, 1923 – March 27, 2004), nicknamed "Al" and "Sis", was a female pitcher who played from 1946 through 1949 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

[1] A native of Coldwater, Michigan,[2] Haylett grew up in a farm family of English, Pennsylvania Dutch, and Indian ancestry.

She graduated from Coldwater High School in 1940, and after taking a summer job in Battle Creek, Michigan she worked full-time for five years and played softball for several local teams.

She made the adjustments, relying on a strong fastball and a breaking curve that baffled opposite hitters who tried to analyze her pitches.

Haylett finished with a 25–5 mark, led the league in winning percentage (.833) and earned run average (0.77), and tied with Joanne Winter in victories.
