 Donovan Casey (born February 23, 1996) is an American professional baseball outfielder for the York Revolution of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.

Career
A native of Stratford, New Jersey, Casey graduated from Sterling High School and played college baseball for Boston College. In 2017, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Chatham Anglers of the Cape Cod Baseball League.

Los Angeles Dodgers
Casey was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 20th round of the 2017 MLB Draft. He played for the Ogden Raptors and Arizona League Dodgers in 2017 and the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in 2018.

Casey split the 2019 season between Rancho Cucamonga and the Double–A Tulsa Drillers, accumulating a .260/.322/.479 batting line with 23 home runs, 76 RBI, and 22 stolen bases across 125 games. He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Washington Nationals
On July 30, 2021, he was traded to the Washington Nationals (along with Josiah Gray, Gerardo Carrillo, and Keibert Ruiz) in exchange for Trea Turner and Max Scherzer. He was selected as one of eight Nationals to participate in the Arizona Fall League in 2021, frequently leading off and playing center field for the Surprise Saguaros. On November 19, the Nationals added Casey to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.

Casey was called up to the majors for the first time on April 15, 2022, but was optioned back several days later without appearing in an MLB game, becoming a phantom ballplayer. On August 9, Casey was designated for assignment following the waiver claim of Jake McGee. He cleared waivers and was sent outright to the Triple–A Rochester Red Wings on August 11. In 84 games for Rochester, Casey hit .216/.279/.345 with seven home runs, 29 RBI, and six stolen bases.

In 73 games between the three affiliates, he batted .191/.278/.245 with two home runs, 20 RBI, and nine stolen bases. Casey elected free agency following the season on November 6, 2023.
