Are you talking about Harry Stine (stine-001har), who has a record given from 1886 to 1888 on Baseball Reference? He is not the same person as William Stein, the left-handed pitcher. In 1888, Harry Stine started the season with Portland. The Lewiston Sun-Journal described his career to that point and gave his age as 23. William Stein was only 20 in 1888.
