Fred House was a professional baseball pitcher born in 1890, who played in the major leagues during the early 20th century. His career spanned from April 22, 1913, to October 1, 1913, a brief yet notable period in the sport's history. House made his mark in an era characterized by the transition from the deadball era to more offensive playstyles, which continued to evolve throughout the 1910s. During his time in the big leagues, House recorded a win-loss record of 1-2 and finished with an earned run average (ERA) of 5.2. He struck out 16 batters over the course of his career, although he did not register any saves.
