Ken Clay Biography

Ken Clay is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on April 6, 1954 in United States.

Clay was drafted in the second round of the 1972 draft upon graduation from E. C. Glass High School in Lynchburg, Virginia. He put up respectable numbers in his first five seasons in the Yankees’ farm system, going 46-40 with a 3.64 ERA, but was wild. In 726 innings pitched, Clay walked 348 batters. He got it together in 1977; in ten starts with the International League’s Syracuse Chiefs, Clay went 5-1 with a 1.68 ERA. He was called up by the Yankees to relieve some of the burden on manager Billy Martin’s overextended pitching staff.

Drafted by the New York Yankees in the second round of the 1972 Major League Baseball Draft, he soon emerged as one of the top pitching prospects in the Yankees’ organization. However, he never lived up to his potential, and was eventually traded away by the Yankees after three seasons in which he went 6-14 with a 4.72 earned run average. Clay’s lack of success at the major league level is often cited as the catalyst for Yankees owner George Steinbrenner’s desire to build his team through free agency and trades rather than relying upon his own farm system.

He remained in the bullpen through the first half of the strike shortened season, even after Wills was replaced by Rene Lachemann, but was moved back into the starting rotation when play resumed after the strike. He performed far better, going 2-3 with a 3.64 ERA in ten starts. He failed to make the club the following Spring, and retired rather than trying to latch on with a new team. In 1989, he joined the Senior Professional Baseball Association as a member of the Gold Coast Suns, but never appeared in a game with the team.
