Kip Young Biography
Kip Young is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on October 29, 1954 in Georgetown, Demerara-Mahaica, United States.
Young pitched in his final major league game on September 26, 1979. He finished the season with a 2-2 record and a 6.39 in 43-2/3 inning pitched. On November 21, 1979, the Tigers sold Young to the Spokane Indians, the Triple-A farm club of the Seattle Mariners.
Young was born in Georgetown, Ohio, in 1954. He attended Whiteoak High School in Mowrystown, Ohio, graduating in 1972. He then enrolled at Bowling Green State University and was named to the All-Mid-American Conference baseball team for three consecutive years. He twice won 11 games in a season, and his 37 career wins established a MAC record. He compiled a 1.02 ERA in 1974. His 232 strikeouts and 295 innings pitched are also Bowling Green records.

In his fifth start, Young gave up three runs in seven innings and lost to the Royals. His strong pitching continued with eight consecutive quality starts, at that time tied for the second longest streak in Tigers’ history — trailing only Tommy Bridges’ nine-game streak in 1942. Young finished the 1978 season with a 6–7 record and a 2.81 ERA in 14 games.

Kip Lane Young (born October 29, 1954) is a former baseball player. A right-handed pitcher, Young played Major League Baseball with the Detroit Tigers in 1978 and 1979. As a rookie in 1978, he pitched complete-game victories in his first four starts and compiled a 2.81 earned run average (ERA) for the season.
Young started the 1979 season pitching well during spring training. He had a string of 12 scoreless innings in March and was the team’s “most impressive starter.” After a strong showing in spring training, Young began the season as part of the Tigers’ four-man starting rotation along with Dave Rozema, Jack Billingham, and Milt Wilcox. In four starts, however, Young struggled to a 9.60 ERA. On May 9, the Tigers sent him back to Evansville to make room for yet another promising rookie Jack Morris. At the time, Young took responsibility for pitching himself out of a job, noting, “My changeup is not there like it was last year. I never threw so many high changeups in my life. . . . I’m just thoroughly disgusted with what’s been happening.”
