Louis Stephen Marone (born December 3, 1945) is an American former professional baseball player, a left-handed relief pitcher who appeared in 30 Major League Baseball games as a member of the 1969–1970 Pittsburgh Pirates. Selected by Pittsburgh in the 30th round of the 1965 Major League Baseball draft,[1] the 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m), 185 lb (84 kg) Marone attended San Diego City College and San Diego Mesa College.[2]
Marone was recalled by the Pirates in May 1969, his fifth professional season, after a strong early season for the Double-A York Pirates, where he won two of three decisions and posted six saves and an earned run average of 0.93 in 17 games and 29 innings pitched, all in relief.[3] As a Pittsburgh rookie, he appeared in 29 games and was largely effective, allowing 24 hits and 13 bases on balls in 341⁄3 innings. Of the ten earned runs Marone allowed in 1969, six came in two rough outings against the St. Louis Cardinals.[4] One final appearance in early 1970, also against the Cardinals, concluded his MLB career. Altogether he split his two decisions, and gave up 26 hits in 372⁄3 innings during his big league career, with 25 strikeouts and no saves.
Marone's eight-year pro career concluded in minor league baseball, in the Pirates' organization, in 1972.
