Betty Warfel (May 15, 1928 – September 23, 1990) was a pitcher and utility infielder who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League between the 1948 and 1949 seasons. Listed at 5 ft 8 in (1.73 m), 135 lb., Warfel batted and threw right-handed. She was born in Enola, Pennsylvania.[1][2]
Betty Warfel was a highly versatile player for the Rockford Peaches during her two years in the league, helping her team win the championship title in each of these seasons. She served as a reliever and spot starter, while also being able to play at second base, third base and shortstop when she was not pitching.[1]
Following her baseball days, Warfel worked at Westinghouse Electric Company for 33 years. After retiring, she became an avid bowler and enjoyed outdoors.[3]
Since 1988 she is part of Women in Baseball, a permanent display based at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York, which was unveiled to honor the entire AAGPBL rather than individual baseball personalities.
