He had a 12-year pro career (1963–1974), but appeared in only one Major League Baseball (MLB) game, as a member of the  Philadelphia Phillies.

Bennett worked just one inning — the ninth — in relief, on June 12, against the New York Mets at Connie Mack Stadium. He allowed a leadoff triple to Joe Christopher, then wild pitched him home. Bennett later allowed a double to veteran Mets' shortstop Roy McMillan, who was left stranded. Bennett struck out Charley Smith and issued no bases on balls. The game, won by the Mets 11–3, had been started by Dave Bennett's older brother and teammate, Dennis, who took the loss.

Early life
Bennet attended Yreka High School and in 1963 he was signed by the Philadelphia Phillies as an undrafted free agent (prior to the establishment of the Major League Draft).
