David Hans Bennett (born November 7, 1945) is an American former professional baseball right-handed pitcher. During his playing days, Bennett stood 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m) tall, weighing 195 pounds (88 kg).[1] He had a 12-year pro career (1963–1974), but appeared in only one Major League Baseball (MLB) game, as a member of the 1964 Philadelphia Phillies.
Bennett worked just one inning — the ninth — in relief, on June 12, against the New York Mets at Connie Mack Stadium. He allowed a leadoff triple to Joe Christopher, then wild pitched him home. Bennett later allowed a double to veteran Mets' shortstop Roy McMillan, who was left stranded. Bennett struck out Charley Smith and issued no bases on balls. The game, won by the Mets 11–3, had been started by Dave Bennett's older brother and teammate, Dennis, who took the loss.[2]
