Shane Patrick Victorino, nicknamed "The Flyin' Hawaiian" and "The Big Slippery Fish", is an American professional baseball outfielder who is a free agent. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the San Diego Padres, Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. He was primarily a switch-hitter until the 2013 season, when discomfort from various hamstring, back and knee problems forced him to become an exclusively right-handed batter. Victorino played right field for the Red Sox, but has more often played center field during his career.

Victorino made his MLB debut with the Padres in 2003. He played for the Phillies from 2005 through 2012. With the Phillies, Victorino won three Gold Glove Awards, was named to two MLB All-Star Games, and was a member of the 2008 World Series champions. With the Red Sox, Victorino won a Gold Glove Award and was a member of the 2013 World Series champions. He also won the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award in 2008 and the Branch Rickey Award in 2011. On July 27, 2015 Victorino was traded from the Red Sox to the Angels.

Victorino is a former Hawaii state high school track and field champ (Spring, 1999) for St. Anthony High School in the 100m, 200m, and 400m dashes. His 100m time (10.80) was a state meet record until it was broken in 2015 by Baldwin's Bailey Kaopuiki (10.74). He has been consistently clocked at 3.7–3.8 sec. from home to first right-handed. He also has a strong arm, with 69 career outfield assists through 2013.
