Dorothy Kovalchick [Roark] (born December 31, 1925) was an All-American Girls Professional Baseball League player. Kovalchick batted and threw right handed. She was in Sagamore, Pennsylvania.[1]

According to All-American Girls Professional Baseball League data, Kovalchick made appearances at center field and third base for the Fort Wayne Daisies club during its 1945 inaugural season. Nevertheless, additional information is incomplete because there are no records available at the time of the request.[1][2]

The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League folded in 1954, but there is now a permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York since November 5, 1988 that honors those who were part of this unique experience. Dorothy Kovalchick, along with the rest of the girls and the league staff, is included at the display/exhibit.[3]
