Bernice Metesch or Metesh[1][2] (born August 9, 1929) is an American former baseball outfielder and pitcher who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5' 6" and 132 lb, Metesch batted and threw right-handed. She was dubbed 'Bernie' by her teammates.[1][3]

Born in Joliet, Illinois, Metesch joined the All-American League in its 1948 season. She was assigned to the Rockford Peaches and was traded to the South Bend Blue Sox during the midseason. In a three-game career, Metesch went hitless in two at-bats and did not have a pitching record.[4] Afterwards, she returned to Joliet and pitched for an all-male fastpitch softball team.[3]

In 1988 was inaugurated a permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York, that honors those who were part of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Bernie Metesch along with the rest of the girls and the league staff, is included at the display/exhibit.[5]
