John G. Puhl (July 10, 1876 – August 24, 1900) was an American professional baseball player from Brooklyn, New York who appeared in three games over two seasons with the New York Giants from 1898 to 1899.[1]
He began his professional baseball career with the New London Whalers of the Connecticut State League in 1898 at the age of 21. He played for the Whalers from May 4 until September 10 then was signed by the New York Giants of the National League.[2] Puhl appeared in two games for the Giants as their third baseman, collecting two hits in nine at bats, scored one run and had one run batted in.[1]
In 1899, Puhl returned to the Connecticut League to play for the Bridgeport Orators, and appeared in 19 games and had a .145 batting average.[2] Later in season, he again signed with the Giants, playing one game at third base, and went hitless in two at bats.[1]
Puhl died at the age of 24 of Pulmonary Tubercular Phthisis in Bayonne, New Jersey, and is interred at Holy Name Cemetery in Jersey City, New Jersey.[1] [3]
