Signed by the Cleveland Indians as an amateur free agent in 1954 out of Rowes Run, Pennsylvania, Lawrence Robert “Bobby” Locke was a steady right-handed starter and multi-inning reliever who pitched across parts of nine Major League seasons (1959–1968).
Best remembered for his early tenure in Cleveland and his late-career bullpen work with the California Angels, Locke compiled 16 win-loss decisions, 10 saves, and 215 strikeouts across 168 career games and 432.1 innings pitched.
Locke broke onto the big-league scene in 1959 as a key depth arm for Cleveland’s pitching staff.
1959 Rookie Debut Campaign: Called up mid-season by Cleveland, Locke made an immediate impact by going 3–2 with a 3.16 ERA across 24 appearances (6 starts) and 77.0 innings pitched.
1960 Workhorse Season: Delivered his finest and most durable season for Cleveland in 1960, serving as a spot starter and long reliever. He logged a career-high 123.0 innings across 35 appearances (11 starts), posting a 3.37 ERA with 53 strikeouts and two complete games.
Journeyman Relief Stints: Spent time in the bullpen for the St. Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies, and Cincinnati Reds between 1962 and 1965.
Late Career with the Angels: Re-emerged in the American League with the California Angels in 1967–1968, posting a 2.37 ERA in 9 relief outings during the 1967 season.
