Craig Alan Gentry (born November 29, 1983) is an American professional baseball left fielder who is with the Baltimore Orioles of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the Texas Rangers from 2009 through 2013 and the Oakland Athletics in 2014 and 2015. While primarily a center fielder throughout his career due to his speed, Gentry has since transitioned to left field for the Angels.
Gentry attended the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith during his freshman and sophomore year. He then attended the University of Arkansas, where he played college baseball for the Arkansas Razorbacks baseball team. The Texas Rangers selected him in the 10th round (298th overall) of the 2006 MLB draft.
The Rangers promoted Gentry to the majors on September 1, 2009, but did not see significant playing time. He began the 2010 season with the AAA Oklahoma City RedHawks, but was called up to the majors on April 27 due to Nelson Cruz being placed on the 15-day disabled list. On May 15, he was optioned to Oklahoma.
In 2011, he batted .271 in 133 at-bats, with 18 steals in 18 attempts.
Gentry hit his first MLB triple on September 11 against the Oakland Athletics. A few days later, on September 23 he hit his first Major League home run, an inside-the-park home run against the Seattle Mariners. At the end of the season, he was named the Rangers' Rookie of the Year.
