George Edward "Stump" Wiedman (February 17, 1861 – March 2, 1905) was an American professional baseball player from 1880 to 1893. He played nine years in Major League Baseball, principally as a right-handed pitcher and outfielder, for five different major league clubs. He appeared in 379 major league games, 279 as a pitcher and 122 as an outfielder, and his longest stretches were with the Detroit Wolverines (288 games, 1881–85, 1887) and the Kansas City Cowboys (51 games, 1886).
As a pitcher, he compiled a 101-156 (.393) win–loss record with a 3.61 earned run average (ERA) in 2318 1⁄3 innings pitched. He led the National League in 1881 with a 1.80 ERA and totaled 45 wins in the 1882 and 1883 seasons. He pitched more innings for the Wolverines (1,654) than any other pitcher in the club's history.
Wiedman was born in Rochester, New York, in 1861. He attended Rochester University and was a pitcher on the baseball team there in 1880. He also played for the Hop Hitters Club of Rochester, with Buck Ewing as his catcher.
Wiedman made his major league debut with the Buffalo Bisons on August 26, 1880. In the final weeks of the 1880 season, Wiedman started 13 games for the Bisons and appeared in another four games as a relief pitcher. He compiled a 0–9 record and 3.40 earned run average (ERA) in 113 2⁄3 innings pitched.
