Claiborne Henry Bryant (November 16, 1911 – April 9, 1999) was an American pitcher in Major League Baseball who played from 1935 through 1940 for the Chicago Cubs.

[1] Bryant spent parts of six seasons in the Minor Leagues before joining the Cubs in 1935.

[1] His most productive season came in 1938, when he won 19 games with a 3.10 earned run average and led the National League with 135 strikeouts, while pitching seven consecutive complete games, winning six of them in the first 25 days in September, to help the Cubs erase a nine-game deficit and capture an unlikely pennant.

Ned Garver said he learned the fundamentals of pitching from Bryant when he managed the Newark Moundsmen.

[3] Bryant managed winter ball for the Leones del Caracas club of the Venezuelan League, guiding his team to the 1956–1957 pennant[4] while advancing to the 1957 Caribbean Series.
