Justin Malcolm Kaye (born June 9,1976) is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball who played one season for the Seattle Mariners (2002).
Kaye began playing baseball at the suggestion of a family friend upon moving from Ft. Lauderdale,Florida to Las Vegas,Nevada at twelve years old.

[1] He ultimately made his Major League debut on May 9,2002,pitching a scoreless inning in relief of Shigetoshi Hasegawa at Safeco Field. [3] [4] He would appear in two more games that season,pitching a total of three innings and surrendering four earned runs. [3] The Mariners demoted him to Triple-A Tacoma on May 24,2002 [5] and ultimately designated him for assignment in September 2002. [6]
