Johnny Ray was born on Friday, March 1, 1957, in Chouteau, Oklahoma. Ray was 24 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 2, 1981, with the Pittsburgh Pirates. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Johnny Ray baseball stats page.
"The prototype number three hitter combines average and power. He is Mickey Mantle or Willie Mays, the E.F. Hutton of the batting order. When he steps to the plate, people stop to watch. Johnny Ray bats third for the Pirates. Forget the prototype." - Bob Hertzel in Baseball Digest (July 1986)
