James Marcellin St. Vrain (June 6, 1883 - June 12, 1937), originally from Ralls County, Missouri, is a Major League Baseball pitcher. Left-handed player played for the Chicago Orphans in 1902, and at the age of 19 he was the youngest player to appear in a National League match that season.
St. Vrain made his premier league debut in a street match against the Cincinnati Reds at the Fan Palace (April 20, 1902). He played well, but the orphans lost 2-1. His first major league win came against the New York Giants on 9 May. He performed a complete 5-0 game shutout in front of the home crowd at West Side Park.
St. Vrain pitched well during his only season but unleashed a lot of unacceptable things. He is also remembered for running the wrong way at the base; even though he is a left-handed pitcher, St. Vrain is with the right hand. One day, manager Frank Selee suggested he try to hit his left hand, and after making contact with the ball, St. Vrain is quite confused to run to third base (he was dumped at first base).
In a total of 12 games, 11 starts, 10 complete matches, and 95 pitched strokes, he has 51 strikeouts and only 25 runs, and gives up just 22 runs. Despite the 4-6 record, its ERA is 2.08 glittering.
St. Vrain died at the age of 54 in Butte, Montana.
