Claire Lobrovich Krumpotich (April 5, 1923 – July 29, 2011) was an outfielder who played from 1947 to 1948 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. She batted and threw right handed.[1][2]

Lobrovich was born in Campbell, California, to Mitchell and Mary (née Brayevich) Lobrovich. Her father, born Mihovil Lobrović, was Croatian, while her maternal grandparents were Slovenian emigrants.[3] She spent two seasons in the league, including a year with the 1948 pennant-winning Rockford Peaches.[2]

'Buttons', as her teammates dubbed her,[1] posted a batting average of .209 (54-for-258) with three doubles and two triples in 81 games, driving in 21 runs and scoring 22 times while stealing 15 bases.[4] At outfield, she recorded 69 putouts with seven assists and committed six errors in 82 total chances for a .927 fielding average.[4]

In 1988, Claire Lobrovich received further recognition when she became part of Women in Baseball, a permanent display based at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York, which was unveiled to honor the entire All-American Girls Professional Baseball League rather than any individual figure.[5]

In 1951, she married John Krumpotich, a semi-professional baseball player.[6] She resided in Watsonville, California until her death in 2011.[7]
