Robert Louis Hartman (August 28, 1937 – June 16, 2010) was an American

Cleveland Indians in 1962. The native of Kenosha, Wisconsin
, stood 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and weighed 185 pounds (84 kg).

Hartman signed with his home-state Braves after graduation from

bases on balls in only 123 innings pitched
.

He returned to the Braves'

twi-night doubleheader. Hartman lasted ten innings, allowed only three hits and one earned run with seven strikeouts, but left for a pinch hitter with the game tied, 1–1. Relief pitcher Gary Bell worked the next two innings and got credit for a 3–1 Cleveland win.[2]

Later against the Chicago White Sox, Hartman started well with one run allowed in four innings, but in the fifth, he faced four batters and could not record an out, as Chicago scored three earned runs.[3] Hartman made six more appearances as a relief pitcher for Cleveland in July 1962 before returning to the minor leagues, retiring in 1963 after nine professional seasons.

As a Major Leaguer, he allowed 20 hits and ten bases on balls, with 12 strikeouts, in 19 innings pitched.
