The New York Mets have signed veteran outfielder Travis Jankowski to a minor league deal, sending him to Triple-A Syracuse. After being waived by the Rays, Jankowski opted for free agency. In his 11 seasons, he has accumulated 805 plate appearances. Known for his speed and solid defense, Jankowski's career stats highlight limited power but a good ability to draw walks. The current outfield situation for the Mets is complicated due to injuries, making Jankowski a valuable potential asset for the big league team.
Jankowski has never been a regular in the majors. He played a career-high 131 games with the 2016 Padres but did so in a limited, part-time role.
Despite minimal power, Jankowski is a career .236/.318/.305 hitter who draws plenty of walks, runs well and plays solid defense at all three outfield positions.
