Jayson S. Faatz (October 24, 1860 – April 10, 1923) was an American Major League Baseball player born in Weedsport, New York, who played at first base for three teams during his four season career.
After his 1884 season, he returned to the minor leagues, which included one season with the Toledo Mud Hens in 1885.[1] In his last season, he was named player-manager for a short time with the 1890 Buffalo Bisons of the Players' League, the only season in the league's existence.[2]
After his baseball days were over, among Jay's post-career occupations included insurance salesman.[3] Jay died in Syracuse, New York at the age of 62, and was buried in the Weedsport Rural Cemetery.[4]
