Travis Steven Baptist (born December 30, 1971) is a retired Major League Baseball pitcher.
Baptist was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 45th round of the 1990 Major League Baseball Draft, and he played his first professional season with their Rookie league Medicine Hat Blue Jays in 1991.[1] On December 9, 1996, he was drafted by the Minnesota Twins from the Toronto Blue Jays organization in the minor league portion of the 1996 Rule 5 draft. While Baptist was a member of the Salt Lake Buzz in 1998, he was chosen as the starting pitcher for the Pacific Coast League team in the Triple-A All Star game.[2]
Baptist went on to later play his only season at the major league level with the Twins in 1998. He played his last season in affiliated ball in 2001 for the Chicago White Sox's Double-AA Birmingham Barons and Triple-AAA Charlotte Knights, and his last professional season with the independent Central Baseball League's Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings in 2003.
