Trea Turner

Trea Vance Turner (born June 30, 1993) is an American professional baseball shortstop for the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played for the Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Dodgers. At the international level, he plays for the United States national team.

Turner played college baseball at North Carolina State. The San Diego Padres selected him in the first round of the 2014 MLB draft and traded him to the Washington Nationals in 2015. Though developed as a shortstop, Turner debuted in the major leagues in 2016 as Washington's starting center fielder and returned to shortstop for the 2017 season. Traded to the Dodgers during the 2021 season, he became a free agent after the 2022 season and signed an 11-year, $300 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Turner is a three-time MLB All-Star. He has led the National League in batting average once and twice in stolen bases. Turner won a Silver Slugger Award in 2022 and has hit for the cycle three times, making him the fourth MLB player to accomplish the feat, after Bob Meusel, Babe Herman, and Adrián Beltré; Christian Yelich later became a member of the exclusive club as well. Turner set an MLB record in 2023 by stealing the most bases in a season without being caught (30 stolen bases, 0 caught stealing). He won the 2019 World Series with the Washington Nationals.
