About

Travis Jankowski starred at Stony Brook University, leading college baseball in hits, runs, and triples as a junior while guiding the Seawolves to an upset College World Series appearance in 2012. The San Diego Padres selected him in the first round of the 2012 MLB draft, launching a professional career spanning multiple organizations. He made his MLB debut in 2015 and played 628 games across nine seasons with the Padres, Cincinnati Reds, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers, Chicago White Sox, and Tampa Bay Rays, compiling a .245 career batting average with 315 hits and 89 stolen bases. Jankowski's speed-first approach peaked with the Padres in 2016 when he led the team with 30 stolen bases, and he capped his playing career by helping the Rangers capture their first World Series championship in 2023. His experience across eight MLB organizations and deep understanding of outfield positioning and base-running strategy gives him unique insight into every aspect of outfield play and situational baseball.
