Joshua L. Bell (born November 13, 1986) is an American professional baseball for the Lancaster Barnstormers of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. A third baseman, Bell played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Baltimore Orioles and Arizona Diamondbacks.
Bell was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 4th round of the 2005 Major League Baseball draft out of Santaluces High School in Florida. After spending a year with the Gulf Coast Dodgers, he spent 2006 with the Ogden Raptors, where he batted .308 and was selected to the Pioneer League Post-Season All-Star team after he was third in the league in home runs, fourth in extra-base hits and fifth in RBIs. He split 2007 between the Great Lakes Loons and Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernardino.
Bell began 2008 with Inland Empire and played in 51 games for them before missing the rest of the season after undergoing preventative knee surgery in June. In 2009, he was promoted to the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts where he was selected to the mid-season Southern League All-Star team. In the All-Star game, Bell was 2 for 4 with a homer and 2 RBIs and was voted the All-Star Game Most Valuable Player.
On July 30, 2009, he was traded to the Baltimore Orioles (along with Chattanooga teammate Steve Johnson) in exchange for relief pitcher George Sherrill.
