Carl Alvin Scheib (b. January 1, 1927 in Gratz, Pennsylvania - d. March 24, 2018 in San Antonio, Texas at age 91) was a professional baseball player, a right-handed pitcher for the Philadelphia Athletics and St. Louis Cardinals of MLB. He was the youngest player in the American League in 1943 and 1944.

He was one of the best-hitting pitchers of his time. In 1948, he registered 31 hits in 104 at bats, for a batting average of .298 with two home runs and 21 RBI. In his MLB career, Scheib batted an even .250, with five home runs, 59 RBI and 117 hits in 468 at bats.

When Scheib made his first appearance in 1943 at age 16, he was the youngest player in the modern era until Joe Nuxhall debuted with the Cincinnati Reds the following season.
