"Jankowski carved out a solid career as a speed and defense depth outfielder. He played in more than 700 MLB contests and tallied nearly 1800 trips to the plate. The lefty batter hit .236/.318/.305 with 366 knocks and 104 stolen bases. Jankowski had very little power and only connected on 11 home runs, but he collected 54 doubles and 10 triples. He drove in 98 runs and scored 220 times."
"A former supplemental first-round pick of the Padres, Jankowski spent the first five seasons of his career in San Diego. He'd go on to play for eight teams overall, including the 2023-24 campaigns in Arlington. Jankowski's best season came in 2023. He had a personal-best .263 average while reaching base at a strong .357 clip for the World Series team."
