Christopher John Jelic (born December 16, 1963), is a retired Major League Baseball outfielder who appeared in four games with the New York Mets in 1990. His one career hit was a home run in the final at-bat of his career.[1]

Amateur career

Jelic attended the University of Pittsburgh, where he not only played baseball, but also played quarterback and punter on the Pitt football team.[2] In 1984, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Hyannis Mets of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[3] He was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the second round of the 1985 Major League Baseball Draft.

Professional career

He was traded to the Mets with David Cone on March 27, 1987 for Rick Anderson, Mauro Gozzo and Ed Hearn. After his brief stint with the Mets in 1990, Jelic signed with the San Diego Padres, never reaching the majors in three seasons in their organization.
