Clifford Raphael Young (August 2, 1964 – November 4, 1993) was an American professional baseball pitcher. He pitched parts of three seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) between 1990 and 1993 for the California Angels (1990–91) and Cleveland Indians (1993). He was originally drafted by the Montreal Expos in 1983. He was acquired by the Toronto Blue Jays on September 10, 1985 completing an earlier trade of Mitch Webster to Montreal. He was selected by the Oakland Athletics in the Rule 5 draft after the 1986 season, but was returned to Toronto before the 1987 season started. Toronto traded him to the California Angels on March 9, 1989 for DeWayne Buice. The Cleveland Indians then signed him to a minor league contract on November 3, 1992, and invited him to spring training. On May 21, 1993, Young picked up the only save of his abbreviated career in a 10-5 Indians win over the Tigers. Young went 32⁄3 shutout innings, closing out the win for starter Mike Bielecki.^[1] The Indians released him at the end of the 1993 season. Shortly thereafter, Young was killed in a traffic accident when the car he was driving went off the road and hit a tree, killing him instantly.^[2]
