John Charles Werhas (born February 7, 1938) is a former Major League Baseball third baseman who was a pastor for The Rock Community Church in Anaheim Hills, California.
He also played forward for the Trojans basketball team, earning All-PCC honors and honorable-mention All-American recognition in 1959.
Werhas enjoyed a career game shortly after losing his starting job on May 28, going three-for-four with a walk and run scored in a seventeen-inning marathon with the Cincinnati Reds that ended in a 2–2 tie,[5] but was soon returned to Spokane, regardless.
He returned to the Dodgers when rosters expanded in September 1965, going hitless with one walk and a run scored in three pinch hit plate appearances.
In the first trade between a Japanese and an American team, he was dealt to the San Diego Padres' Pacific Coast League affiliate, the Hawaii Islanders, for longtime major leaguer Clete Boyer.
