However, he was dismissed from the school's baseball team after being charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.[8] Clippard transferred to Dunedin High School in Dunedin, Florida, which had a nationally ranked baseball team. Clippard attempted to play for their team, but the move was blocked by the Florida High School Athletic Association, as players are not allowed to transfer during the course of a season, nor are they allowed to transfer to avoid sanctions given for disciplinary reasons.[9] After taking classes at Dunedin for a month, Clippard transferred back to Mitchell in order to graduate from high school with his friends.[10]
Clippard competed for the Central Florida Renegades in Connie Mack Baseball, an amateur 18-and-under competition organized by the American Amateur Baseball Congress. He earned pitcher of the week honors in the Florida State Elite Baseball League in June 2003.[11]

Without the benefit of a full senior season to show himself off to scouts, Clippard proactively sent scouts a schedule of when he was throwing and attended as many showcases as he could.[7] He trained with Roy Silver, a retired professional baseball player, who worked with Clippard on his mechanics and his maturity.[17] Clippard's father, Bob, teamed up with Tom Kotchman, father of Florida high school player Casey Kotchman, to form showcases with past teammates of Clippard.[5]
Clippard was drafted in the ninth round of the 2003 MLB draft, with the 274th overall selection, by the New York Yankees. Though he had signed a National Letter of Intent in the fall of 2002 to attend the University of South Florida on a baseball scholarship, allowing him to play college baseball for the South Florida Bulls,[18] he chose to turn professional due to his draft position and the opportunity to play for the Yankees.[19]

Clippard would still receive his first career World Series ring after 11 seasons of service in the Majors.[88]

His 680 relief appearances between starts established a new major league record.[93] Clippard finished the 2018 season with a 3.67 ERA, seven saves, 15 holds, and 85 strikeouts over 682⁄3 innings.[94]

International career
Clippard played for Team USA in the 2017 World Baseball Classic, helping the team win the tournament. He pitched 4 and a third innings giving up only one run and recording six strikeouts.[108]
Scouting report
Clippard was listed at 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and 170 pounds (77 kg).[109] He had an unorthodox pitching delivery,[12] rocking forward while sticking his gloved hand high in the air,[110] which created an unusual arm angle while pitching, making it difficult for hitters to pick up the ball in their line of vision.[17] Clippard's father taught him to pitch this way when Clippard was eight years old by having him throw his baseball glove.[17] McCatty nicknamed Clippard's delivery "The Funk".[17]
Clippard primarily threw a fastball and a changeup. His hard, straight four-seam fastball averaged about 92–93 miles per hour (148–150 km/h), topping out at 96 miles per hour (154 km/h), and set up a deceptive changeup in the high 70s to low 80s. He periodically threw a cutter early in the count to right-handed hitters and a curveball in the mid 70s.[111] Nardi Contreras, who worked with Clippard as the Yankees' minor league pitching coordinator, indicated that Clippard's greatest success came from his curveball and changeup.[110]

Personal life
