Randolph Rutherford Heflin (September 11, 1918 – August 17, 1999) was an
right-handed pitcher who appeared in 25 games in Major League Baseball for the 1945–46 Boston Red Sox. Listed at 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m), 185 pounds (84 kg), Heflin was born in Fredericksburg, Virginia

Heflin's pro career extended from 1939 to 1952, although he missed the 1943–44 seasons while serving in the
decisions for the top-level Louisville Colonels before the Red Sox recalled him. Working in 20 games, Heflin made 14 starting assignments for the BoSox and registered six complete games. He threw two complete-game shutouts: a four-hitter August 10 against the eventual world champion Detroit Tigers and a six-hitter September 20 against the last-place Philadelphia Athletics. But Heflin compiled only a 4–10 won-lost record.[2]
In 1946, the first postwar year, Heflin appeared in five games for the Red Sox between April 21 and June 12, including one start, and lost his only decision. Sent back to the
Evangeline
leagues.
In his two-season MLB career, Heflin posted a 4–11 record with 45
bases on balls
