Lindo Ivan Storti (December 5, 1906 – July 24, 1982) was an American professional baseball player who appeared in 216 games as a third baseman, second baseman and pinch hitter in Major League Baseball for the St. Louis Browns from 1930 to 1933.[1] Born in Santa Monica, California, Storti was a switch-hitter who threw right-handed; he was listed as 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and 165 pounds (75 kg).

Storti batted only .227 with 160 hits during a lively-ball era in the majors, amassing 34 doubles, 11 triples, nine home runs, and 75 career runs batted in. He was a career backup infielder, whose personal best in games played came in 1931, with 86.[2]

However, Storti had a 19-year professional career (1927–1945), including 12 seasons in the top-level American Association and lengthy service with Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Toledo.

He died in Ontario, California, aged 75.
