Who is Jay Payton?

Jason Lee "Jay" Payton is a former Major League Baseball outfielder. He has played for the New York Mets, Colorado Rockies, San Diego Padres, Boston Red Sox, Oakland Athletics Baltimore Orioles and the Colorado Rockies in 2010. He batted and threw right-handed. Payton was an opposite-field hitter with some power. As a runner, he had decent instincts and great speed, but did not steal many bases. Defensively, he was a solid outfielder with an above average arm, and his quickness getting rid of the ball helped him hold baserunners on the base paths. He is currently serving as an in game analyst with ESPNU for college baseball.
