Career highlights and awards

Jonathan Henry "Jon" Jay (born March 15, 1985) is an American professional baseball center fielder for the Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played in MLB for the St. Louis Cardinals and the San Diego Padres. A product of the University of Miami, he played college baseball for the Miami Hurricanes and was the Cardinals' second round selection in the 2006 MLB draft. He made his MLB debut for the Cardinals in 2010 after batting .301 with 34 home runs, .803 on-base plus slugging percentage and 61 stolen bases in 409 minor league games.

The starting center fielder for four consecutive National League Championship Series (NLCS)-qualifying clubs as a Cardinal (201114), Jay was a World Series champion in 2011 as the Cardinals defeated the Texas Rangers. Between 2011 and 2013, he established an errorless record streak for NL center fielders at 245 games. He finished tenth in 2012 in the NL in both batting average and on-base percentage. After wrist injuries limited his effectiveness in 2015, the Cardinals traded Jay to the Padres. Active in the community, he has hosted celebrity bowling tournaments for charity.
