Jason Szuminski (born December 11, 1978 in San Diego, California, United States), was a right-handed pitcher who has the distinction of being the first person from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the only United States Air Force reservist (as a First Lieutenant) to play in Major League Baseball.

Szuminski was a 27th round draft pick in 2000 by the Chicago Cubs and was signed by Cubs' scout Tom Shafer. He was a Rule 5 draft pick by the San Diego Padres in 2004, but was returned to the Cubs that season. He has since been out of baseball.
