[edit] Biographical Information

Chris Young is a starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres and one of the tallest players in baseball at this time. Not surprisingly, he was a basketball player in college, and in fact was offered a contract from the Sacramento Kings of the NBA as he graduated from Princeton University.

He is not to be confused with his contemporary, outfielder Chris Young. Young has a particularly slow delivery to the plate, which makes him vulnerable to the stolen base. On April 27, 2009, he gave up 8 stolen bases in a game against the Colorado Rockies, including five by rookie Dexter Fowler.
