Travis Paul Jankowski (born June 15, 1991) is an American professional baseball first base coach and former outfielder. He is currently the first base coach for the Texas Rangers of Major League Baseball (MLB). He played in MLB for the San Diego Padres, Cincinnati Reds, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, Seattle Mariners, Rangers, Chicago White Sox, and Tampa Bay Rays. Jankowski was born and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He attended Stony Brook University, where he led the Seawolves to a Cinderella appearance in the 2012 College World Series after upsetting the LSU Tigers. As a junior, Jankowski led college baseball in hits, runs scored and triples. That same year, the Padres selected him in the first round of the 2012 MLB draft. As he rose through the Padres' farm system, Jankowski developed an offensive style of play that favored base stealing. He made his MLB debut in 2015. In his first full season the following year, he led the Padres with 30 stolen bases. He missed significant time to injuries over the next few years and was traded to the Reds following the 2019 season. Jankowski served as the fourth outfielder for the Phillies in 2021 and the Mets in 2022. He had a one-game stint with the Mariners after the Mets released him midseason. Jankowski signed with the Rangers in 2023 and led the team in stolen bases en route to the franchise's first-ever World Series championship. Following a season-ending injury to Adolis García in the World Series, Jankowski started in his place and had a multi-hit, multi-RBI showing in the Rangers' Game 4 win.
