Jeffrey David (Jeff) Innis (born July 5, 1962 in Decatur, Illinois) is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball who played his entire career for the New York Mets from 1987 through 1993. He batted and threw right-handed.

Innis received a psychology degreee from University of Illinois.^[1]

Innis, a dependable middle reliever with a submarine delivery, threw two different breaking balls with a deceptive movement that disconcerted opposite hitters. A workhorse out of the New York Mets bullpen, Innis led the team in games pitched from 1991–93, averaging 84 innings per season. In 1991, he became the only pitcher in major league history to appear in at least 60 games without recording a win or a save. He broke the streak recording a win in relief on the 1992 Opening Day as he set a team record with 76 pitching appearances that season. His nickname was "I-Man".

In a seven-season career, Innis posted a 10-20 record with a 3.05 ERA in 288 games.
