Grover Cleveland Lowdermilk (January 15, 1885 - March 31, 1968) was a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball. From 1909 through 1920, he played for the St. Louis Cardinals (1909-1911), Chicago Cubs (1912), St. Louis Browns (1915[start]), 1917-1919[start]), Detroit Tigers (1915[end]-1916[start]), Cleveland Indians (1916[end]) and Chicago White Sox (1919[end]-1920). Lowdermilk batted and threw right handed. He was born in Sandborn, Indiana.

In a nine-season career, Lowdermilk posted a 23-39 record with 296 strikeouts and a 3.58 ERA in 590-1/3 innings pitched.

Lowdermilk died in Odin, Illinois, at age of 83.

Grover and his brother Lou Lowdermilk both pitched for the 1911 Cardinals. Grover was 6'4" and lean, with long fingers, and was favorably compared to Walter Johnson - except that he couldn't control his blazing fastball. He was a member of the 1919 Black Sox but was not involved in the scandal. – William A. Borst
