Joseph "Lefty" Bell was an American baseball pitcher and outfielder in the Negro leagues. He played with the Montgomery Grey Sox in 1932.[1]

While 1932 was Bell's first year in professional baseball, he was expected to be one of the league's best pitchers by the end of the season.[2] However, he only appeared in two recorded games as a pitcher, going 1–0 with a 3.14 earned run average in 14.1 innings pitched. He also played the outfield, recording four hits in 14 at bats.
