[1] A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Welmaker served in the US Army during World War II.

He lost his first start to Jack Matchett of the Kansas City Monarchs, as a late inning rally meant a 8-0 loss.

In 1946 while playing for Sabios de Vargas, he pitched in 25 of the 30 games of the LVBP inaugural season, including 25 starts, and posted a 12-8 record with 139 strikeouts and a 2.68 earned run average (ERA) in 181⅔ innings of work.

Welmaker led the league in victories, strikeouts and ERA to easily win the Triple crown.
