On June 2, 1986, Young was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 22nd round of the amateur draft, but did not sign to play Minor League Baseball with Cincinnati, opting instead to enroll at Mississippi State where he developed as a pitcher. Young was drafted again on June 5, 1989 by the Montreal Expos in the 6th round (148th overall pick) of the amateur draft. This time, Young signed to play in the minors in the Expos organization. [2]

Young made his major league debut on June 5, 1992 with the Expos at age 24. On that day, Young pitched 1.2 innings against the Reds, striking out one batter. The Expos lost the game 10-4. [3] Young played his final major league game for the Expos on July 18, 1993; on February 18, 1994, he was purchased along with Matt Stairs by the Boston Red Sox organization, but his career ended that season after not reaching the major league club.

At the time of his retirement, Young had earned a career earned run average of 3.63. He finished with 25.2 innings pitched, striking out 14 batters, and playing in a total of 17 games. He allowed 22 hits, 1 home run, and 9 walks. He only got one win in his career, on July 10, 1993 against the San Diego Padres. Young came to bat only once in his two-season career.
