Career highlights and awards
  • 1987 College World Series Most Outstanding Player

Paul Stephen Carey (born January 8, 1968) is a former Major League Baseball first baseman/designated hitter who played in 1993 for the Baltimore Orioles. He also managed in the minor leagues from 1998 to 2001. His brother is former NHL goalie Jim Carey.

Carey was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He attended Boston College High School in Dorchester, Massachusetts and then Stanford University, where he was voted the 1987 College World Series Most Outstanding Player as a freshman outfielder on Stanford's national champion baseball team on the basis of going 3-for-5 with two RBI and scoring two runs in the title game in Omaha. Even before the final game against Oklahoma State, Carey had made a case for MOP when he smashed a walk-off opposite-field grand slam over the left-field fence in the 10th inning to give the Cardinal a 6-5 win over LSU. Carey is one of three players from Stanford University to win the MOP award (Lee Plemel and John Hudgins are the other two). He was inducted into the Stanford University Hall of Fame in 1990.

He was selected in the 27th round of the 1986 draft by the Seattle Mariners but chose not to sign, and then by the Detroit Tigers in the fourth round of the 1989 draft, but again didn't sign. After being chosen by the Miami Miracle of the Florida State League in the fourth round of the 1990 draft, however, he did sign. 1990 was his first professional season; he hit .327 for Miami with four home runs and 20 RBI in 153 at-bats.
