Barbara Joan Rotvig [″Big Swede″] (July 2, 1928 – December 27, 1963) was a pitcher in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League who played with the Kenosha Comets for parts of three seasons spanning 1948–1951.

[1] A hard throwing pitcher, the tall Barbara Rotvig never had a winning season, mainly because of poor run support.

She finished with an 11–16 record and a 2.52 ERA in 30 games, allowing 99 runs (66 earned) on 159 hits and 96 walks, while striking out 99 batters in 107 innings of work.

[4] Barbara Rotvig was one of Duluth's Denfeld High School most successful female athletes before girls' sports were officially sanctioned.

In 1960, the first LPGA National Golf School staff was established under the guidance of Shirley Spork and Barbara Rotvig.
