Jaynne Barrier Bittner [JB] (born March 17, 1926) is a former starting pitcher who played from 1948 through 1954 for four different teams of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5 ft 9 in (1.75 m), 140 lb, she batted and threw right-handed. Bittner entered the league in 1947 with the South Bend Blue Sox, playing for them one year before joining the Muskegon Lassies (1948), Grand Rapids Chicks (1949–52) and Fort Wayne Daisies (1952–53). Bittner posted a 9–9 record with a 2.55 earned run average as a 22-year-old rookie. Although she led the league in wild pitches (13) in 1949 and the following year issued the most balks (five), Bittner emerged in 1951 with Grand Rapids posting a 15–8 mark and a 2.95 ERA. Her most productive season came in 1953 with Fort Wayne, when she posted a 16–7 record and a 2.45 ERA. The Daisies made it to the playoffs in every year that Bittner pitched for them, but never won the Championship Title. She returned to the Chicks in 1954, which turned out to be the AAGPBL's last ever season.
