Career

Wheeler began his career with the Providence Grays as a pitcher, where he pitched well. He had an earned run average of 3.48, and won six of the seven games in which he pitched. A good start to his career, but the next two years, he pitched in only five games for two Reds teams, and played in one game for the Cleveland Blues, he had one hit in four at bats and played left field. He was formally converted as an outfield upon his return the majors in by|1882 after an absence in by|1881, when he rejoined the Reds, now reformed in the American Association as the Cincinnati Red Stockings. Harry did well with the bat that season, finishing in the top ten in many hitting categories, highest among them were his 11 triples, in which he finished third.cite web| title = Harry Wheeler's Stats | work = baseball-reference.com | url=http://www.baseball-reference.com/w/wheelha01.shtml | accessdate = 2008-03-11 ]

He played for the Columbus Buckeyes the following season. The by|1883 season saw his hitting decline, and his fielding, which was already a liability, was getting worse. This was his last full season he played. He ended his career in the failed Union Association in by|1884, including a four game stint as player-manager for the Kansas City Cowboys, losing all of them.
