Dana Fillingim (November 6, 1893 – February 3, 1961) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball. He played for the Philadelphia Athletics, Boston Braves, and Philadelphia Phillies.[1] Fillingim's key pitch was the spitball, and he was one of the pitchers allowed to continue throwing the pitch after it was outlawed in 1921.[2] His best season was in 1921, when he was 15-10 with the Boston Braves.

He was a good hitting pitcher in his 8-year major league career, recording a .209 batting average (77-for-368) with 2 home runs and 26 RBI. Fillingim was a good fielding pitcher in the majors, posting a .983 fielding percentage with only 6 errors in 350 chances, which was 26 points higher than the league average at his position.
