Redmond threw and batted right-handed, stood 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) tall and weighed 165 pounds (75 kg). He was signed by the Tigers after graduating from Detroit'sCentral High School[1] and hit 31 home runs in his first minor league season, split between Detroit farm clubs at the Class A and Double-A levels. That led to his first late-season trial in 1965. Redmond started one game during his MLB career, in centerfield on October 3, and went hitless in four at bats against Joe Coleman of the Washington Senators.[2] Apart from his September 1969 callup to the Tigers, in which he played in five games as a pinch hitter and pinch runner, Redmond spent the remainder of his career in the minors.
After his career in baseball, Redmond became an Elder in The Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith (COOLJC). Elder Wayne Redmond died on August 8, 2020; he is interred at Detroit's Grand Lawn Cemetery.
