Drew Roy Naylor (born 31 May 1986) is an Australian professional player for the Chunichi Dragons of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB).

Naylor made his Minor League debut in 2006, and spent 2006 and 2007 with the GCL Phillies and the Williamsport Crosscutters.

He spent the 2008 season with two teams, playing for the Lakewood BlueClaws and the Clearwater Threshers, going 5–3 in 14 games in Lakewood.

Naylor was also on the 2009 World Baseball Classic roster for Australia.

In late 2010 Naylor played the second half of the season in the Australian Baseball League, making his debut on 22 December 2010 in Melbourne where he gave up a two run home-run in two innings of relief at the batter-friendly Melbourne Showgrounds. He finished the season with a 3.21 ERA over 14 innings including two starts. In 2011, he started a Phillies spring training game against Florida State University, picking up the win in a scoreless outing.[1]

He missed the entire 2011 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, and was designated for assignment by the Phillies on 16 September 2011. He was then released from the Phillies as a free agent in November 2012. In 2014, Naylor pitched in three games for the Brisbane Bandits. He pitched for the Shikoku Island All-Stars of the Canadian-American Association, and the Chunichi Dragons in Nippon Professional Baseball.
