Darryl DeWayne Motley (born January 21, 1960) is an American former Major League Baseball outfielder who played six seasons for the Kansas City Royals and Atlanta Braves between 1981 and 1987.
Following his major league career, Motley played two seasons in Japan, 1992 and 1993, for the Chiba Lotte Marines.
Motley began 1985 as the Royals' starting left fielder, but after he struggled to begin the season, the team acquired Lonnie Smith on May 17 and moved the right-handed hitting Motley to right field to platoon with the left-handed hitting Pat Sheridan.
Motley, upon seeing the ball curve foul, slammed his bat into the home-plate area, breaking it.
This time, the Royals released Sheridan at the end of spring training, but they signed Rudy Law to platoon with Motley, then traded Motley very late in the year, on September 23, to the Atlanta Braves for Steve Shields.
