Jerry Joseph Stephenson (October 6, 1943 – June 6, 2010) was an American Major League Baseball pitcher and longtime scout.

As a player, he appeared for all or parts of seven seasons for the Boston Red Sox (1963; 1965–68), Seattle Pilots (1969) and Los Angeles Dodgers (1970).

[3] Six years later, as a veteran, he went 18–5 with a 2.82 ERA in 28 starts for the Triple-A Spokane Indians, the Dodgers' top affiliate, pitching for manager Tommy Lasorda.

[4] Following in his father's footsteps, Stephenson spent 36 years as a Major League scout, working with the Dodgers (1974–94) and Red Sox (1995–2009) before his retirement to part-time status after the 2009 season.

His son Brian Stephenson, a former minor league pitcher, is a regional crosschecker for the Dodgers — the third generation of the family to serve as an MLB scout.
