David Cone is a former American professional baseball payer who has a net worth of $33 million. Perhaps most famous for this time pitching for the Yankees, David earned around $67 million during his career which spanned from 1986 to 2001. David became the highest-paid baseball player in the league after he signed a three-year $18 million contract with the Royals in 1993. That contract alone is worth around $33 million in today’s money after adjusting for inflation.
Born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1963, David Cone made his starting pitcher MLB debut on June 8, 1986 for the hometown Kansas City Royals. He played with the Royals briefly before joining the New York Mets from 1987 until 1992. Cone later played with the Toronto Blue Jays (1992), the Kansas City Royals a second time (1993-1994), the Toronto Blue Jays a second time (1995), the New York Yankees (1995-2000), the Boston Red Sox (2001), and the New York Mets (2003). He last pitched for the Mets on May 28, 2003 before his retirement. He is a five-time MLB All-Star (1998, 1992, 1994, 1997, and 1999) and won five World Series: 1992 with the Blue Jays, 1996 with the Yankees, 1998 with the Yankees, 1999 with the Yankees, and 2000 with the Yankees. Cone owns the American League Cy Young Award from 1994 and led the American League in wins four years later in 1998. He twice led the National League in strikeouts (1990, 1991), and recorded a perfect game on July 18, 1999 as a member of the Yankees. Cone finished his pro career with a 194-126 win-loss record, a 3.46 earned run average, and 2,688 strikeouts. The book “A Pitcher’s Story: Innings with David Cone” was written about Cone by Roger Angell. He currently works as a color commentator on the YES Network.
