Paul Stephen Carey (born January 8, 1968) is an American former Major League Baseball first baseman/designated hitter who played in 1993 for the Baltimore Orioles.

He attended Boston College High School in Dorchester, Massachusetts and then Stanford University, where he was voted the 1987 College World Series Most Outstanding Player as a freshman outfielder on Stanford's national champion baseball team on the basis of going 3-for-5 with two RBI and scoring two runs in the title game in Omaha.

Even before the final game against Oklahoma State, Carey had made a case for MOP when he smashed a walk-off opposite-field grand slam over the left-field fence in the 10th inning to give the Cardinal a 6-5 win over LSU.

[2] Carey is one of three players from Stanford University to win the MOP award (Lee Plemel and John Hudgins are the other two).

After being chosen by the Miami Miracle of the Florida State League in the fourth round of the 1990 draft, however, he did sign.

In 1992, his hitting improved as he played for the Frederick Keys, Hagerstown Suns and Rochester Red Wings at different times.
