He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 2004 to 2014 with his longest tenure as a player with the Toronto Blue Jays.

He also played for the Kansas City Royals, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Chicago Cubs, and Philadelphia Phillies.

[1] He graduated from high school in 1994 and continued as a backstop in college while attending George Mason University, where he played for coach Bill Brown.

Struggling to hit collegiate pitching, Camp converted to a pitcher at George Mason with the help of then Patriots assistant baseball coach Dayton Moore.

[3] The newly converted reliever steadily climbed the ranks of the Padres' minor league system, collecting 25 saves in his first two years of professional baseball.

Failing to make the major league team, however, Camp was granted free agency by Pittsburgh at the end of the season.

[3] Signed by his former college coach and current Royals general manager Dayton Moore, Camp finally made his first major league roster.

[6] He remained a semi-regular contributor to the Royals bullpen that season and in 2005, working primarily in middle and long relief, while shuttling between Kansas City and Triple-A Omaha.

Camp was granted free agency after the 2005 season, and signed with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on January 17, 2006.

Control problems hampered Camp's success in Tampa Bay and his final year in Kansas City, however, and the righty struggled to poor ERAs of 6.43, 4.68 and 7.20 respectively from 2005 to 2007.

Limiting right-handed hitters to a paltry .204 batting average, Camp helped the Blue Jays staff to team ERA of 3.49, best in all of Major League Baseball that season.
