}} William Henry "Billy" Traber, Jr. (born September 18, 1979) is a former left-handed pitcher. Playing careerCollegeTraber attended Loyola Marymount University, where he was First-Team All-American and West Coast Conference Player of the Year. He set a single-season school strikeout record with 156 strikeouts (in 123 innings pitched). In {{Baseball year|2000}}, Traber entered the draft and was picked in the first round (16th overall) by the New York Mets.[1] The Mets were prepared to offer Traber a contract worth $1.3 million, but after an MRI showed some damage to his pitching elbow, he signed a contract worth only $400,000.[2] Professional careerIn 2001, the Mets traded Traber to the Cleveland Indians along with Matt Lawton, Alex Escobar, Earl Snyder, and Jerrod Riggan for Roberto Alomar, Mike Bacsik, and Danny Peoples. In {{Baseball year|2002}}, Traber was runner-up minor league pitcher of the year, going 17-5 for the Akron Aeros (Double-A) and Buffalo Bisons (Triple-A), and was voted by Baseball America as having the best control and curveball in the league. His numbers were also good enough to give him top-honors for Cleveland pitching prospects. On April 4, {{mlby|2003}}, Traber made his Major League debut. Although he started out well (1.59 ERA, 1-0 record in 7 games that spring) -- even pitching a one-hit shutout of the New York Yankees on July 8—Traber's season fell apart when elbow problems that haunted him in college and the minors came back to end his '03 campaign and ultimately the entire {{mlby|2004}} season when he needed Tommy John surgery. During the 2004-{{mlby|2005}} offseason, the Boston Red Sox signed Traber. Before playing a single game, he was placed on waivers by the Red Sox. On November 10, 2004, he was claimed by the Indians off waivers and was signed to a minor league deal on December 22, 2004.[3] On December 5, {{Baseball year|2007}}, he was released by the Washington Nationals after having pitched for them the previous two seasons. On January 5, {{Baseball year|2008}}, he signed a minor league deal with the New York Yankees and was invited to spring training. On March 15, he was added to the 40-man roster and he opened the season in the Yankee bullpen. He spent much of the season splitting time between the Yankees and their Triple-A affiliate. He was designated for assignment on September 1. In December {{Baseball year|2008}}, he signed a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training to return to the Red Sox.[4] On August 5, {{Baseball year|2009}}, he was called up by the Red Sox to bolster their undermanned bullpen. In October 2009, Traber was granted free agency.[5] He was designated for assignment on August 7, 2009. In June 2010, Traber was signed by the Seattle Mariners.[6] Teaching careerCurrently teaches physics at his former high school, El Segundo High School.[7] References1. ^{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/09/02/sports/baseball-traber-mets-top-pick-signs.html | work=The New York Times | title=BASEBALL; Traber, Mets' Top Pick, Signs | date=September 2, 2000}} 2. ^{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/09/sports/baseball-traber-shuts-down-yankees.html | work=The New York Times | title=BASEBALL; Traber Shuts Down Yankees | first=Tyler | last=Kepner | date=July 9, 2003}} 3. ^Scout.com: 40-Man Roster 4. ^ 5. ^{{cite news| url=http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2009/08/reddick_out_tra.html | work=The Boston Globe | title=Reddick out, Traber in | first=Tony | last=Massarotti | date=August 5, 2009}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/?p=9023 |title=Minor League Transactions |author=Matt Eddy |date=June 10, 2010 |work=Baseball America |publisher=Baseball America, Inc |accessdate=June 10, 2010}} 7. ^{{cite news| url=http://www.dailybreeze.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?avis=LI&date=20160611&category=SPORTS&lopenr=160619920&Ref=AR&profile=1032979&template=printart | work=The Daily Breeze | title=El Segundo High picks Billy Traber to be next baseball coach | first=Dave |last=Thorpe | date=June 11, 2016}} External links{{Commons category|Billy Traber}}{{Baseballstats |mlb=407896 |espn=5022 |br=t/trabebi01 |fangraphs=410 |cube=Billy-Traber}}{{West Coast Conference Baseball Pitcher of the Year navbox}}{{2000 MLB Draft}}{{New York Mets first-round draft picks}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Traber, Billy}} 23 : 1979 births|Living people|Cleveland Indians players|Washington Nationals players|New York Yankees players|Boston Red Sox players|Baseball players from California|Major League Baseball pitchers|Sportspeople from Torrance, California|Binghamton Mets players|St. Lucie Mets players|Norfolk Tides players|Akron Aeros players|Buffalo Bisons (minor league) players|Kinston Indians players|New Orleans Zephyrs players|Columbus Clippers players|Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees players|Pawtucket Red Sox players|Tacoma Rainiers players|All-Star Futures Game players|El Segundo High School alumni|Loyola Marymount Lions baseball players |
