Career highlights and awards

Steven Lowell Hargan (born September 8, 1942), is a former professional baseball player who pitched in Major League Baseball from 1965 to 1972 and 1974 to 1977.

The son of Lowell and Florence Hargan, he grew up in

Cleveland Municipal Stadium.[1]

On August 2, 1965, Hargan made his first major-league start, at home against the

California Angels on August 25 at Dodger Stadium, in the Angels' last season there.[1]

In 1967, he pitched shutouts in his first two starts in April. By midseason his 9–7 record with a 2.68 ERA and 10 complete games in 17 starts earned him a berth on his first and only Major League Baseball All-Star Game. He pulled a hamstring in his last start before the 1967 All-Star Game and did not pitch in the game.[1] That year he led the American League in shutouts with six.[2]

Injuries hampered him throughout his career, including arm problems, an ankle fracture and later carpal tunnel syndrome.[1] He pitched for the Indians from 1965 through 1972, the Texas Rangers from 1974–77, and the Toronto Blue Jays and Atlanta Braves in 1977.[2]
