Alonzo Mitchell (January 2, 1905 – October, 1963), nicknamed "Fluke", was an American Negro league pitcher and manager for several teams between 1921 and 1941.
A native of Jacksonville, Florida, Mitchell attended Morris Brown College, and was the younger brother of fellow-Negro leaguer Arnett Mitchell.[1] A side-arm curveballer, he continued to pitch effectively into his later career, when he served as player-manager for the Jacksonville Red Caps and Cleveland Bears.[2] Mitchell died in Jacksonville in 1963 at age 58.
