Travis Adrian Chapman (born June 5, 1978) is an American former professional baseball third baseman, who played one game in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2003.[1]
Chapman enjoyed a four-year career at Mississippi State, playing collegiate summer baseball with the Orleans Cardinals of the Cape Cod Baseball League in 1998.[2] He was drafted by the Phillies in the 17th round of the 2000 amateur draft and played his first professional season with the Batavia Muckdogs of the NY-Penn League. The only MLB game Chapman played in was on September 9, 2003 against the Atlanta Braves. He pinch hit for Tomás Pérez in the seventh inning against Braves pitcher Jung Bong and flew out to right field. Chapman finished the game at third base.
Chapman spent seven seasons in the minor leagues with the Phillies, Kansas City Royals, Cincinnati Reds, and Pittsburgh Pirates organizations before retiring after the 2006 season. In 1,771 career minor league at bats, he hit .286, with 41 home runs.[3] Chapman is currently a coach with the New York Yankees farm team, the Charleston RiverDogs and has been coaching in the team’s minor leagues in a variety of capacities for several years.[4]
