Jeffery Peathon Massey (born April 1, 2000) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates organization.

Attended Gwendolyn Brooks College Preparatory Academy[1] In 2018, he won the RBI World Series.[2] He enrolled at the University of Minnesota and played college baseball for the Minnesota Golden Gophers.[3]

After the 2022 season, the Pittsburgh Pirates selected Massey in the seventh round of the 2022 MLB draft. Massey committed to transfer to the University of Missouri.[4] He signed with the Pirates rather than transfer.[1] He played for the Bradenton Marauders of the Low-A Florida State League (FSL) in 2023 and was named FSL pitcher of the month for May.[5] In June, he was promoted to the Greensboro Grasshoppers of the High-A Carolina League. Massey was selected to represent the Pirates at the 2023 All-Star Futures Game.[6]
