Justin Haley

[William Malone]

Justin Case Haley was born on June 16, 1991 in Sacramento, California.

The Boston Red Sox selected him in round six of the 2012 MLB Draft. He was acquired by the Minnesota Twins as a Rule-5 Draft choice.

Haley was on the Opening Day roster in 2017. He made his Major League debut on April 5th, pitching a shutout ninth inning to finish off a 9-1 win over the Kansas City Royals. Haley earned his first career save on April 13th, allowing one run and striking out six over 3.1 innings to close out an 11-5 blowout victory against the Detroit Tigers.

Minnesota placed him on the disabled list in late May with shoulder tightness. He embarked on a minor league rehab assignment in July. The Twins chose to not activate him when the rehab assignment ended, and Haley was returned to the Red Sox organization under Rule-5 conditions.

He finished 2017 in the Boston farm system, reemerging at the big league level for a four game cup of coffee in 2018. The Red Sox removed him from their 40-man roster in the off-season. Haley spent 2019 pitching in Korea. He retired after the season, and became a firefighter. As of 2022, he was working for the West Newbury Fire Department in Massachusetts.
