Jason Raymond Bay, aka Jay Ray Bay, (born September 20, 1978 in Trail, British Columbia, Canada) is a Major League Baseball outfielder for the Boston Red Sox. In his young major league career, Bay has demonstrated well above average power to all fields. He has also shown good discipline at the plate — in 2005, he ranked in the top ten in the National League in walks — although he does also strike out more often than the average hitter. On the bases, although he is not exceptionally fast, Bay is a very effective basestealer; in 2005, until he was picked off in the last week of the season, he had tied the major league record for most steals in a season without getting caught (21). Defensively, Bay was adept at handling the large outfield in Pittsburgh’s PNC Park and is a dependable fielder. Through 2008, he has made only eighteen errors in 6283.2 innings in left field (.986 fielding percentage). For a left fielder, he has average throwing ability according to The Hardball Times.
