I picked up this louisville slugger teens era bat marked hoch which I am wondering is Harry hoch who had a short mlb career as a pitcher. Any idea if pitchers got there own stamped bats or is there another player named hoch I am missing?

Here is the stamped name

That's a 20s bat. The full name should be on there - either in the side writing or on return label .

I can't make out the label. The player I thought it might belong to played in 1915 and if I understand correctly this style was used in 1916-1929.

Hoch
 
I believe that MADE IN USA first appeared on the center label right around 1922 or so.

Looks like there were a few minor league players who were on teams in the 20's it must have belonged to one of them.
