John H. Lynch (February 5, 1857 – April 20, 1923) was an American Major League Baseball pitcher from 1881 to 1890. He played for the Buffalo Bisons, New York Metropolitans, and Brooklyn Gladiators.
His pitch selection included a drop curve and an "inshoot", which was probably the modern screwball. [1]
