Jack Hatfield Smith (November 15, 1935 – April 7, 2021) was an American professional baseball player. The native of Pikeville, Kentucky, was a right-handed pitcher who worked in 34 Major League Baseball (MLB) games (all in relief) for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Braves between 1962 and 1964. He was listed as 6 feet (1.83 m) tall and 185 pounds (84 kg). Smith signed with the Dodgers in 1955 and rose slowly through their farm system until 1961, when he led the Double-A Southern Association in earned run average (2.09). The following season, he won 17 of 24 decisions in the Triple-A American Association and was named the league's Most Valuable Player. When MLB rosters expanded on September 1, 1962, Smith was added to the Dodgers' pitching staff for the stretch run as they fought furiously for the National League pennant with the San Francisco Giants. With the two teams deadlocked at the end of the regular season, they played a best-of-three tie-breaker series to decide the championship. Smith worked in the first two games and allowed one unearned run and two hits in two full innings pitched, as the Dodgers split those games. San Francisco won the series, however, in Game 3.
