'''Lorenz Johannes Pezold''' (June 22, 1893 – October 22, 1957) was an American Major League Baseball third baseman who played in 23 games for the Cleveland Naps during the 1914 season.

Pezold was traded to the Nashville Vols for Rube Kroh before the 1917 season but quit the team before the season began. The ''Daily Arkansas Gazette'' reported that Pezold declined to play in Tennessee because it was a dry state.<ref>{{cite news |title=On the Hop |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/daily-arkansas-gazette-the-real-reason-p/53893470/ |access-date=22 June 2023 |work=Daily Arkansas Gazette |date=22 April 1917 |pages=24}}</ref>
